In a detailed post, the bodybuilding influencer said, “Tomorrow I am going for surgery, I have a condition called Diastasis recti.” He explains that it is a split in the abdominal wall and adds”I have a two-and-a-half-inch gap between my abdominals.” He captioned the post, “Going for surgery in less than 24 hours from now.“

He admitted it is kind of frustrating because he can’t drive at the desired intensity, can’t lift weights, or can’t do certain exercises due to his condition. He further opened up about his mental condition before the surgery, “To be honest I am nervous and I am anxious.“He also informed his fans that he doesn’t know what to expect from the process and is also unsure when he will be back at the gym after the surgery.

“To be a good content creator, I need to take you through the good times and the bad, the highs and lows of my life but also of bodybuilding,” he spoke as an honest influencer. He further added that injuries are bound to happen inside or outside of the gym but they would heal eventually. It isn’t the first time Deyzel has gotten injured. Earlier he suffered a bicep injury.
