In August of 2020, Christine Brown informed her then-husband Kody that their 17-year-old daughter Ysabel Brown would be getting much-needed spine surgery for her severe scoliosis in September. They would have to travel to New Jersey to get the surgery, which made Kody ask that the surgery be delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sister Wives viewers assumed Christine Brown’s strained relationships with her sister wives, Meri, Janelle and Robyn, was a contributing factor to her decision to leave the family. Now it appears she may just have been trying to ditch Kody!

Scoliosis, which is a curve in the spine, has caused Ysabel Brown to live in constant pain for years. In the past, she tried alternative treatments, but in 2020 the pain got so bad that she wanted to undergo spinal surgery so she could live a pain-free life.

In Season 15, her dad Kody Brown at first pushed back about the surgery because of his COVID-19 concerns and then told her to go have surgery alone. He later revealed that he didn’t take Ysabel’s surgery seriously because he thought her mom Christine was using it to manipulate him.

Ysabel Brown, the daughter of former Sister Wives couple Kody Brown and Christine Brown,had her surgery to address her severe scoliosis more than a year ago. Get a recap of all of the updates from Ysabel and Christine over the past year! (SPOILER: It’s all great news!)
