When news broke that former Miss Universe contestant Daniella Alvarez had her leg amputated, it sent shockwaves around the world. The former Miss Colombia 2011-2012 winner is a vibrant, healthy and accomplished woman, so the news of what happened to her shocked many fans as well as fellow Colombian Sebastian Yatra . Daniella had initially gone in for a simple procedure at la Fundacion Cardioinfantil Hospital in Bogota, Colombia, where she was having a lump located in her abdomen removed. During the operation, doctors realized that situation had been more complex than anticipated and found that the lump was now cutting circulation to her leg — forcing them to amputate it. Today, she shares that she “hasn’t shed a tear” post surgery and is happy to be alive.
