Joe Manganiello recounts a health crisis and surgery in new memoir 'Bloodlines'

Extra, citing People and Manganiello's memoir, reports that he suffered years of symptoms from an autoimmune disease. Manganiello writes that he thought he would die during a 2016 hospitalization; he says emergency surgery removed his large intestine and left him with an ostomy bag. Extra says he is now healthy and has had surgery to reconnect his digestive tract.
