Opening up: In December 2018, the actress revealed that she had had 16 surgeries including two kidney transplants - after her first one in 2012 from her dad Edward James began to fail at the end of 2016

Sarah posed for the shot with her toned back to the camera and opting for no bra. 

In December 2018, the actress revealed that she had had 16 surgeries including two kidney transplants - after her first one in 2012 from her dad Edward James began to fail at the end of 2016. 

Speaking with Self, the beauty showcased her many stomach scars before opening up about her failed kidney transplant.  

However towards the end of 2016, the kidney began to fail, for reasons that are still unknown.

'We did all of these tests and all of these treatments to try and save the kidney, but they basically said that the transplanted kidney was like a house that caught on fire. You can't unburn a house,' she said.

Nothing could be done: 'We did all of these tests and all of these treatments to try and save the kidney, but they basically said that the transplanted kidney was like a house that caught on fire. You can't unburn a house,' she said while showcasing her scars 

The beauty then underwent dialysis three times a week - each for four hour sessions between February 2017 and October 2017.

It was in July 2017 that she found out that her younger brother Ian was a match. 

'When a family member gives you a second chance at life, and it fails, it almost feels like it's your fault. And it's not, but it does,' she tearfully confessed.

'When a second family member, someone, you're supposed to look after, like a little brother, wants to give you a third chance at life, it's scary, because you don't want to fail them.'

Thankfully, Sarah confirmed during the interview that there's been no rejection to the second kidney transplant and that she is 'healed and the numbers are good'.

On Valentine's Day of 2017, Hyland went on dialysis, causing her weight to plummet, before she had the transplanted kidney removed in May 2017.

Health battle: Just last week Sarah took to the gram to open up about the constant pain she still feels

Sarah added that the physical ailments had a huge effect on her mental health too, and she even contemplated suicide.

'For a long time, I was contemplating suicide, because I didn't want to fail my little brother like I failed my dad.'

Just last week Sarah took to the gram to open up about the constant pain she still feels. 

I’m putting this #tbt out there to remind myself that I can make it to the gym,' she captioned the bikini pic. 

'Lately I’ve been making excuses because of the constant pain from health issues. But no more. A woman’s body is a miraculous thing and we can do anything we set our minds to. #summer #bodygoals here I come.' 

Sarah didn't specify what the pains were from in the post.
