The pop star has kept the reason for the surgery quiet and urged people to respect her wishes for not sharing specifics about her “personalmatter.” However, over the past couple weeks, since the surgery, Jessie has made sure to keepfans in the loop, with posts — giving the status of her recovery. “I have seen a lot of ‘How are you today’ comments…How amI….*Looks up signs and has to be honest* I am not okay. I am in a lot of pain," she shared with a photo of an IV in her arm. "But I’m working on it with the doctors. We all have our moments and one of mineis now.”

After the festival, the “Domino”singer took to Twitter tojoke about the phone call she would probably receive from her doctor after herperformance Sunday night. “I know my doc is going to call me “Hi Jessica, How areyou….Resting? “Yes Doc” “The way my ambition is set up is….”
