Heath Slater Undergoing Surgery Next Month

Heath, formerly known as Heath Slater, announced on Twitter that he will be undergoing surgery on March 1 for an injury that he suffered back in October during a match at the Impact Bound for Glory PPV.

Heath said that the reason it has taken so long to get the surgery is because he suffered multiple injuries and “finally found a doctor that can do everything at once.” “So, after three different doctors, three different ways to go with this, I finally found a doctor that can do everything at once,” he said. “Yes, it has taken three months to find this doctor and yes, it has been an up and down rollercoaster ride of crap.”

He also detailed the injuries he suffered: “I have a sports hernia on the left side of my pubic bone, another hernia on the right side that I don’t even know the name of it. My abductor muscle is actually ripped off the bone, has to get resutured and I have a rip in my abdomen wall on both sides so, little bit of a mess.”

The injury happened during the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match at Bound for Glory, which Heath was reportedly originally scheduled to win. After he was injured, it was changed on the fly to have Rhino win instead.

Alright, so I’ve been getting a lot of messages, texts and tweets and everything in between about, ‘Hey, where you at? What are you doing? What’s happening? Are you hurt? Have you had your surgeries? What’s going on with you?’ So, after three different doctors, three different ways to go with this, I finally found a doctor that can do everything at once. Yes, it has taken three months to find this doctor and yes, it has been an up and down rollercoaster ride of crap and… so, finally found the doctor that can do all my surgeries.

I have a sports hernia on the left side of my pubic bone, another hernia on the right side that I don’t even know the name of it. My abductor muscle is actually ripped off the bone, has to get resutured and I have a rip in my abdomen wall on both sides so, little bit of a mess. So my spirits are still high.

I’m gonna be out for a little while. My surgery is, thank God, March 1st. So, after March 1st, it’s gonna be the road to recovery so, yeah, keep me in your prayers everybody.
