TV personality Adam Richman has shared a heartfelt message with fans ahead of undergoing an undisclosed surgery.
“Hello beautiful people,” Richman began in an Instagram post shared earlier today.
“Don’t want to scare anyone like last time, so just want to be ultra clear. Today is surgery number two.”

The former Man v. Food host assured followers of his appreciation and offered hopeful insight.
“Because nobody knows the future, I just wanted to once again tell all those who have been so kind and supportive of me and the shows I make and have made, I am forever grateful and love you all so much. If I’m granted the opportunity to come out of this, I promise I’ll continue to work my tail off to give you my all.”
The Brooklyn native, who’s long been a passionate supporter of English football club Tottenham Hotspur, closed off with a note.
“Blessed to live the life I have and yes, blessed to live long enough to see my beloved @spursofficial lift a European trophy. If ya have a second, lift your boy up in your prayers. See ya on the other side.”
Richman gained widespread fame during his four-year stint hosting Man v. Food, where he tackled outrageous eating challenges.
He stepped away from the show in 2012, citing concerns about his physical health and personal well-being.
He lost 70 pounds and adopted a healthier lifestyle after a turning point moment when he no longer recognized himself in the mirror.

In 2022, Richman revealed a near-death experience after contracting a life-threatening MRSA infection from an inflamed mustache follicle.
“My lip inflated like a banana,” he recalled during a podcast appearance.
Doctors later explained the infection had developed in a region known as the “danger triangle” of the face, where surface infections can reach the brain.
Though that scare passed, Richman said it changed his outlook: “Gratitude is the attitude... every day above ground is a gift.”
