Teddi Mellencamp stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, marking her first public appearance since undergoing emergency brain surgery last month.

The 43-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was spotted grabbing lunch with Kyle Richards and a friend, just days after sharing a heartbreaking health update in which she revealed doctors had discovered more tumors on her brain.

Dressed in a white cardigan with green stripes and matching green pants, Mellencamp held onto her friends’ arms as they left a frozen yogurt shop. 

She kept a low profile with a baseball cap pulled low and oversized dark sunglᴀsses shielding her face.

The mom of three has openly documented her health battle since doctors discovered tumors in February after weeks of severe headaches, recently sharing a raw moment of having staples removed from her head. 

Her outing comes just after she shared an Instagram video from her car, announcing her release from the hospital.

’16 days and I get to go home,’ she captioned the emotional clip. ‘Thank you to all my loves and life savers for getting me to this.’ 

The outing also comes as she continues to navigate the fallout from her split with estranged husband Edwin Arroyave.

Last Wednesday, Teddi broke her silence on her health woes and revealed that doctors have now found more tumors on her brain and that ‘the fight is not over.’

The statement included a selfie from her hospital bed with a shaved head, along with a scan of her tumors.

‘I am so grateful for the incredible surgeons, doctor, and nurses who made my surgery a success and my recovery process comfortable,’ she posted to her Instagram.

‘In full transparency, more tumors were removed than expected: 4 in total. This fight is not over, but that round has been won.’

‘The laughter, support, and patience of my kids, my family, and my closest friends is one gift with which words cannot properly express my graтιтude.

‘As I move on to the next steps in my treatment, I just wanted to say thank you to everybody for the outpouring of love and prayers. I see them, and they’re definitely helping me stay strong.’

Teddi underwent emergency surgery last month to remove recently-discovered brain tumors.

In a statement posted to her Instagram at the time, Teddi revealed the tumors were discovered following ‘several weeks’ of ‘severe and debilitating headaches.’

The Bravo alum revealed she would be having two tumors removed that day, with the remaining ‘smaller tumors’ to be ‘dealt with via radiation at a later date.’

Her brain tumors were discovered just three years after Teddi announced that she was diagnosed with stage II melanoma – the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

She has undergone a total of sixteen procedures to remove the melanomas.

While it’s unclear what type of tumor has been discovered, skin cancer can spread to the brain and cause brain tumors, known as brain metastasis.

‘For the last several weeks I’ve been dealing with severe and debilitating headaches. Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization,’ Teddi said in her statement.

‘After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believed have been growing for at least 6 months.

‘Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today – the remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date. 

‘I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses, and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health.
