Tamra Judgeis making a big change.
TheReal Housewives of Orange Countyalum, 52, revealed on her Instagram Story on Tuesday that she’s getting her breast implants removed in the coming weeks due to “autoimmune issues.”
She aptly choosing the *NSYNC song “Bye Bye Bye” to play alongside the snap.
Judge went on to ask her followers to share their own explant stories, revealing in response to one follower that she’s looking forward to getting her health back on track.
“I can’t wait!” the mother four wrote. “Tired of being tired and inflamed.”
She’s long complained on social media about dealing with thyroid issues, swollen joints, fatigue, and bladder, sinus and gut inflammation — all which she’s claimed stem from her implants. The FDA said last fall that breast implants have the potential to cause"serious or life threatening risks"and instructed manufacturers to print a warning on boxes.
Another follower asked Judge if she would consider keeping her implants if she wasn’t experiencing health problems. To that, Judge said she “probably wouldn’t rush to have them removed,” but admitted she’s “so over having large breast[s] that seem to get bigger with age.”

This isn’t the first time Judge has gone under the knife.
Back in 2015, Judge told PEOPLEshe’d had her boobs done five times since her early 20s.
She first got her first breast augmentation after she gave birth to her first child, 35-year-old Ryan Vieth. Judge redid her breast years later after having son Spencer, 21, then later them reduced, got them completely removed in 2012, and then decided to put them back in not long after.
“When they were big in the ’90s, I loved them!” she told PEOPLE. “And then, it’s a lifestyle thing I guess, as you get older you don’t want those big giant boobs.”
“It is what it is,” she added. “It’s a personal choice and for me. I don’t do it for the public or my husband. It’s something you do to make yourself feel better.”
