After two surgeries to remove uterine tumors, Octo-Mom Nadya Suleman is on the mend.

See what Nadya Suleman does all day.

"She's fine," her attorney Jeff Czech told Usmagazine.com Monday. "Everything went well, and she's recovering now."

According to Suleman's mom, Angela Suleman, the first surgery was stopped before they could remove the fibroids -- benign muscular tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus -- because she was "bleeding excessively."

See photos from Octo-Mom's family album.

The second surgery occurred around noon on Monday, and this time, it was successful.

(Uterine fibroids, which affect about 30 percent of women of reproductive age, do not always need to be treated surgically. For women who need treatment, such as Suleman, surgery has a very high success rate.)

"I'm just happy that she is fine, and everything went well," Czech told Us. "She is going to be fine."

    While they where in there they she have givin her a hysterectomy cause lord knows she doesn't need have any more kids and they should have checked her head to to see if any thing was in there but they i doubt that they would find anything other than air.

  • More surgery paid for by the state. Hope they deactivate her baby making while they're at it. They should open her head too and see what's in there. We know there's no brain.

    What she needs to do is get a job and quit relying on her poor little Mother and take care of the 14 kids she has and stop being a media mogel so she can get people to care even a little about her.

    I would not be surprised if it was actually a tummy tuck.
