GARY’S FIGHTS
Earlier this year, Gary confirmed on Instagram that he would be undergoing nose surgery.
Wearing a gray t-shirt, baseball cap and blue face mask, Gary stared at the camera and explained what happened in his caption.
“Time for everyone’s favorite topic: surgery. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it,” he began.
βI had sinus surgery, got tight spots and did some other stuff there. (No, it’s not the toes) Your prayers are appreciated and welcomed.β
He continued, “Thank you for @kristina_shirley3 my nurse who will be helping me recover,” before joking, “Prayer to the doctors and the gas is going right through me.”
This comes just a year after the father-of-two underwent surgery for carpal tunnel.
At that time, Kristina posted one photo series from the hospital, as well as some post-procedure pics while providing a medical update.
She revealed the TV personality underwent “bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery.”
The surgery was planned and went well, she says in her post.
βToday @itsgarytime had his bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery. Luckily, his surgery went as planned. It was entertainment for the doctors, nurses and staff to say the least.β
“He’s back home now and resting. I feel like I have to take care of a little boy and nurse him back to health,” she shared in the caption.
Amber also commented on the post, showing her support for Kristina.
Gary’s ex commented: “Sure you do @Kristina_shirley3 thanks for my silly pic earlier lol but he has an amazing nurse to look after him and a few little helpers too.”
A short time later, Kristina returned to the podium and said the surgery went well, prompting Amber to send prayers for her blended family in another post.


Among other things, Amber wrote: “Let’s send them light and love to ease any pain and pray that very soon he can get back to the things he loves most!”
“Sending so much love, my beautiful souls.”
