Update: Kurt Angle Undergoes Successful Neck Surgery, Posts Photos from the Hospital

July 8, 2015

Kurt Angle underwent successful surgery this week to remove a benign tumor which had been bothering his neck for the past couple years.

Angle previously revealed the surgery will keep him out of action for about 3-4 weeks, meaning Angle will be missing quite a bit of TNA TV time. Below are some photos posted by Angle:

Your Olympic Hero is feeling better after surgery. Road to recovery starts today. Thank you all for your Love and support. #TeamAngle

My beautiful wife stayed up all night prior to my surgery. She took care of me all night and day. I went to do some tests in the hospital and when I came back, she was sleeping in my hospital bed. Should I wake her and kick her out of my bed?? You’re damn right I should! Wake up honey!!!!!! Lol. #Lovemyfamily #LoveUGiovanna

GOD continues to Bless me each and every day. Thank You to all of the fans for your incredible support. Much Love!
