Will Jeremy Buendia be back in top form?

When Men’s Physique Olympia champion Jeremy Buendia announced that he needed to undergo pec surgery, immediately thoughts went to how he’d be able to make it through surgery while being ready to defend his crown. Muscle tears are nothing to brush off, they can actually be life altering, potentially ending a competitor’s career or changing their physique so greatly that it can damage their legacy. So when Buendia tore his pec muscle the thought was immediately turned grave, fans wondering if this would be the end of the champion’s reign.

But after undergoing successful pec surgery it seems that Jeremy Buendia is set to make a full recovery. While it may just be a little over a week removed from the operation, the Olympia Men’s Physique champion seems to be in high spirits and confident in making a full recovery.

Jeremy Buendia went to Instagram to give an update on his condition and to thank a few very instrumental people for their skill and dedication in getting the job done.

Post-Op went great! I appreciate this medical staff more than words can explain. Understanding the urgency and importance of this operation. They succeed with precision and we are well on our way to a full recovery! – Thank you Dr. Itamura, Dr. Bastian, & Dr. Bowman
