Ric Flair was at a local hospital in Gwinett County, Georgia from September 8th until his release on September 18th. Flair had been at the same hospital twice since September 3rd. On the first day he went for surgery for a hernia and doctors then found a second hernia, which needed another surgery.
On September 16, Flair’s most serious procedure came during an intestinal surgery.
The medications and surgery created significant intestinal problems for Flair. He was not able to hold food down and only getting nutrients through an IV the whole time he was in the hospital. During this time, Flair lost a significant amount of weight.
Flair won’t be training for about 5 weeks but he is recovering well and was released from the hospital two days ahead of schedule.
