“My anxiety is killing me”

RTL-TVi journalist and presenter Benjamin Maréchal raised concerns among his loyal subscribers when he posted a photo of himself in a hospital gown with a swollen face. But don’t worry! The man who hosts the radio show Every morning Bel RTL program “They deserve to be in the newspaper” wait Consumer programme “Coûte que cost” Underwent nose surgery. He agreed to go back to what happened to him.

‘I was devastated’

“It was a planned operation. I had a septum operation because I suffer from sleep apnea and problems breathing at night,” said Benjamin Maréchal, now discharged from a Brussels hospital. If in July, journalists were able to enjoy a family holiday in the sun, the return to reality seems more complicated.

“Two days before the operation I was on a paradise beach. A few hours later, the results were mixed. I completely collapsed and could hardly speak. I don’t know yet how long it will take to revalidate. But in any case, I know that I will miss the Libramont Agricultural Fair. Since I can’t eat solid food, I will miss the annual steak,” he added.

The fear of general anesthesia!

Although Benjamin is getting better, he is recovering from general anesthesia. For this reporter, it was a great first. “I had no idea it was so crap. It was actually a little scary because in the recovery room, I couldn’t open my eyes. I remember arguing with the anesthesiologist about anesthesia. It was a great conversation! My only two fears are losing my voice, because it’s my job, and dying, because I have a little boy. I hope this is the last time I have surgery,” Benjamin continued.

We wish Benjamin Marechal a speedy recovery and in a few days he will resume filming his show “Coûte que cost”. As for his radio show, it will resume in the last week of August. As a reminder, this program invites every morning a news personality to explain himself on the subject.
