Model lost right leg by 'tampon disease' now also lost left leg

- The 29-year-old Lauren Wasser who lost her right leg years ago due to the 'tampon disease', had to have her left leg amputated this week. 'My life is going to change enormously. Again, 'writes the American model on Instagram.

When she was 24 years old, Lauren diagnosed TASS syndrome. That is an infection caused by wearing a tampon for too long. Her right leg was then amputated to stop the infection.

Although she retained her left leg, she could hardly stand on it. A second amputation no longer seemed to occur. In December, Lauren reported that it was coming.

This week the amputation took place. Lauren shared a picture on Instagram on which she can be seen with the well-known snowboard star Amy Purdy. Both her legs are also amputated.

'Thanks for stopping by. It really means to me, 'writes Lauren in the post on Instagram. 'You showed me that life is only getting better. '
