In his post, Ramsay expressed his appreciation for the team, saying, "Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates." The post has since been flooded with comments from Ramsay's followers, expressing their well-wishes and support for the celebrity chef.
Ramsay's health update comes at a busy time for the celebrity chef, who is set to return to the kitchen for the upcoming season of his popular cooking show, Hell's Kitchen. It is unclear at this time how the surgery will affect his schedule, but Ramsay has assured his fans that he is feeling well and looking forward to getting back to work.
