Beverly Hills, 90210 featured him as a star, and now Brian Austin Green opens up about a significant health crisis and the following ordeal that comes with it post-surgery – a journey that began after the removal of his appendix.

He underwent the surgery recently and shared in the episode how this was the first time he had ever gone through such a procedure.

“Last week, I started feeling some pain in my stomach,” Green explained in the video. “I ended up going to the emergency room, and I had a perforated appendix. Not quite burst, but just before,” Brian Austin Green said via Instagram post.

Green noted to have gone through this life-altering experience for the first time, which he describes as overwhelming due to this being his first surgery of such magnitude.

The man also went through a painful recovery but is in a much-improved condition now, or so he says.

“I'm on the road to recovery. It's not an easy process. This is my first major surgery,” he said.

Before getting on with his life, this gentleman made it a point to thank all the experts who professionally took care of him during this period of recovery; he so willingly captured with the words, "those life-saving healing professionals."

The actor explained that the process of trying to get help from a doctor was needlessly complicated. He bypassed several hospitals because the emergency rooms were full. Ultimately, he was accepted at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center, where he received timely treatment.

“They were fantastic. They got me in right away, got me right into surgery,” Green said. “The aftercare was phenomenal. When I tell you every single person that was there was incredibly kind and loving and supportive and helpful, I mean it—every single person,” he said.

His praise for the staff was more than just appreciation—it was a clear acknowledgment of the help he received during his treatment.

“When you find great places with great people, and they work really hard for you, they deserve a shout out… so that’s what I’m doing,” he concluded.

Surrounded by Support

Green, 51, received overwhelming support from his fans and family. His fiancée Sharna Burgess also chipped in, as did Green's older children from him and ex-wife Megan Fox, Noah (12), Bodhi (11), and Journey (8), as well as his eldest son Kassius (21) from Vanessa Marcil.

Green has not indicated any future endeavors as he focuses on recovery. Nonetheless, his candor concerning the situation has further endeared him to fans who continue to support him.
