Lara is no stranger to surgeries, and had a hip replacement at the age of 47 too. "It was so upsetting," Lara said on GMA after she was diagnosed. "I waited for a long time before I did anything about it or told anyone because it sounds like it’s an old person's problem and I just couldn't believe it."
The mom-of-two sought advice after she got consistent pain in her right hip. She was also told she had hip dysplasia, making her cartilage more likely to wear down earlier in life.
"It was embarrassing to share and then I realized there is nothing to be embarrassed about," she told her co-hosts, Robin Roberts, George Stephanopolous and Dr. Jennifer Aston.

"I have a genetic predisposition for this but if you're athletic and you move, it's happening younger and younger."
Lara's surgery was successful, but she had to undergo months of rehabilitation and urged other people who had been through the same, to do the exercises and work to get back to being fighting fit.
She also told people not to ignore the signs and said: "What I wish I would have done is just taken care of this sooner and spoken up."
