Former first lady Barbara Bush was released from a Houston hospital a week after undergoing ulcer surgery.

A Bush family spokesman says Bush is in good condition and recovering as expected. She was discharged from The Methodist Hospital in Houston on Tuesday.

Bush, 83, was hospitalized a week ago for abdominal pains and underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer Nov. 25. During the surgery, doctors closed a nearly 1.5-centimeter hole caused by the ulcer. She began a liquid diet Monday after test results came back normal.
