Today, we’re going to talk to Bella Marin, who was previously on the show to talk about her story with VEDS, or Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. In today’s episode, she is returning to the show to talk about her recent experience with a bowel perforation and resulting complications.

Bella can be found at @in_VEDStigator on Facebook, and @in_VEDS_tigator on Tik Tok and Instagram
