Zsa Zsa Gabor on the mend after successful surgery

Frederic Prinz von Anhalt told Repoters the 94-year-old celebrity who has suffered ill health for well over a year was taking "very strong antibiotics" and that her blood pressure was down.


Gabor was taken to the hospital Saturday morning and von Anhalt said at the time that her condition "did not look good," but she has since stabilized. He said doctors likely would attempt the stomach surgery later on Sunday.


Gabor has been hospitalized numerous times since July 2010, when she fell out of bed and broke her hip. She later underwent hip replacement surgery, which led to further hospitalization.


The actress' spokesman, John Blanchette, later explained that Gabor's feeding tube became loose on Friday, leading to an infection.
On Sunday, around 6 p.m., she had surgery to replace that feeding tube in her stomach. The operation, which lasted about 1 1/2 hours, "went very well," Blanchette said.
Gabor should be able to return home later Monday, or Tuesday at the latest, according to her spokesman.
The Hungarian-born actress has suffered major health problems in the past year, including hip replacement surgery and a leg amputation last February. She has been unable to walk since a 2002 car accident.
The second of the three celebrated Gabor sisters, Zsa Zsa is famous for her many marriages and strong personality, as well as her acting ability.
Her more prominent films include John Huston's Toulouse-Lautrec biopic, "Moulin Rouge," in 1952; "The Story of Three Loves" in 1953; "The Girl in the Kremlin" in 1957 and Orson Welles' 1958 cult classic, "Touch of Evil."
