        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ryan Lochte confirmed over the weekend that his appendicitis surgery &#8220;went amazing,&#8221; as the 36-year-old swimmer is now on the mend.</p><p>&#8220;Hey everyone, surgery went amazing. I&#8217;m all good &#8212; I feel great now,&#8221; Lochte said in a social media video, <strong>according to People</strong>, with breathing tubes in his nose and eyes partially open.</p><p>On Sunday, Lochte&#8217;s wife, Kayla Rae Reid, spoke about the Olympian&#8217;s condition on her Instagram story.</p><p>&#8220;Everyone asking about Ryan, he&#8217;s still in the hospital. He&#8217;s doing okay, doing fine, I think. Still in some pain from the surgery,&#8221; Rae Reid told followers, also noting Lochte had a &#8220;very tiny, tiny hernia in his belly button area.&#8221;</p><p>Later in the day Sunday, Rae Reid &#8212; who married Lochte in 2018 &#8212; shared a video of the couple reuniting post-op.</p><p>&#8220;Look who&#8217;s home,&#8221;&nbsp; Rae Reid said the video, to which Lochte said, &#8220;Yay, I made it.&#8221;</p><figure id="attachment_5360690"  class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/82420-ryan-lochte-kayla-IG-story.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/82420-ryan-lochte-kayla-IG-story.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/82420-ryan-lochte-kayla-IG-story.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span class="credit">Instagram</span></figcaption></figure><p>Appendicitis can occur when &#8220;the inside of an appendix is blocked,&#8221; <strong>according to John Hopkins Medicine</strong>, and can be &#8220;caused by various infections such as virus, bacteria, or parasites, in [one&#8217;s] digestive tract.&#8221;</p><p>A 12-time Olympic medalist, Lochte has endured trying times in recent years. In 2016, Lochte and three Olympic teammates <strong>falsely claimed they had been robbed at gunpoint</strong> while competing at the summer games in Rio de Janeiro. <strong>He was hit with a 10-month ban</strong> by the US Olympic Committee.</p><p>Two years later, <strong>Lochte was slapped with a 14-month suspension</strong> from the US Anti-Doping Agency for allegedly getting a &#8220;prohibited intravenous infusion,&#8221; which he denied. In late 2018, <strong>Lochte sought treatment</strong> for a &#8220;serious&#8221; addiction to alcohol.</p><p>Last month, Lochte <strong>told Page Six</strong> he may not have ended up as a married father of two had it not been for his swimming suspensions.</p><p>&#8220;I don’t have any regrets, because if that didn’t happen then I don’t know where I’d be, like I probably wouldn’t be married and I probably wouldn’t have kids,&#8221; Lochte said. &#8220;So I mean it was a way of someone saying, ‘Like, you need to slow down, and you need to get your life in hand.&#8217;&#8221;</p><p>Lochte and Rae Reid share son Caiden, 3, and 1-year-old daughter Liv.</p>]]></content:encoded>
