Former Amish Mafia star Esther Schmucker may be fighting a serious illness according to her latest social media post.

Esther Schmucker Reveals Her Post-Amish Mafia Plans

The former reality star, who quit the show after the third season last year, took to her Facebook page for the first time in months March 12, updating fans on her life post-Mafia, and unfortunately the news doesn't appear to be very good. Schmucker notified fans that she had been feeling ill lately, and was undergoing a surgical procedure to hopefully diagnose what she is suffering from.


"Sorry I haven't been on here in a few months, there's been a lot going on recently," she wrote. "But today I just wanted to stop and request prayers from everyone who believes in doing so, I have been sick for a little while (we don't know what's wrong yet) but it's been manageable to where I have been going about my life anyway. I finally went to the hospital when the pain was too much to bear, and we are now finally doing surgery today to try to figure out what's wrong. I'm a little scared but I pray that all will go smoothly and we will hopefully get some answers today. Positive vibes are appreciated."

Schmucker has not since updated her page with information about her procedure or her health.

Despite her choosing not to return to the show after the third season, fans have still been extremely interested in Schmucker's life, especially after she made the official announcement that she wouldn't be back, and hinted that she might be considering doing a tell-all someday.

"This is my gorgeous 5 year old daughter!! There is a lot that a lot of you don't know about me or the show," she wrote in a September 2014 post. "Which will all be revealed. I will be speaking out about everything in due time."

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Esther!
