VH1's Mob Wives star, Big Ang has had a successful surgery to remove a large tumor from her lymph nodes, according to TMZ. The reality star's sister, Janine Detore said that Ang has been instructed by doctors to remain mute for the next three days before her voice could return to normal.

Mob Wives reality star, Big Ang confirmed in her statement that she does have a throat tumor a day after TMZ reports.

The VH1 reality star posted on her Facebook page, "Hi my babies! I am finally able to take a moment to speak to you all. First off, my apologies that you had to find out about my condition from every other outlet but me. This was never my intent, but unfortunately it got out there. Secondly, I want to clarify the rumors that I am hospitalized. I went in for a test due to the nodule in my throat. I had a nerve wracking couple of days, as would anyone when you hear testing etc... However, I am home peaceful and relaxing."

She added, "This coming week I will be taking proper precautions and having it removed. I do want to say that you have all been on my mind every step of the way and I am so thankful to each and every one of you for the love, support, prayers and most of all positive wishes. Big Ang isn't going anywhere! This is a minor setback, but I promise you this... I already have some BIG things in the world and will be returning to your TVs very soon. Always look after yourselves and don't neglect your health. I'm fortunate and blessed to have discovered something very early, and handle it in a positive manner. I thank you and I love you all from the bottom of my heart. Stay posted in the coming days, I will give you all updates."
