For things that are "hmmm".

Ew what is wrong with his stomach?
Probably from prolonged steroid or HGH usage
He posted this to his own instagram page. He's been unable to train at all for about 6 weeks during the surgery recovery phase. He has a video on youtube talking about his experience with surgery. But, as you'll see in the comments from various physicians and other healthcare professionals, he actually had a particularly bad experience and there were some problems with the way the surgeon and the anesthesiologist handled things. I used to work in a plastic surgery clinic and I was appalled at what he described.
I think it's really good that he's open and honest about his steroid usage and about the realities and reasoning for his surgery. It's probably good for folks overall if they get an honest perspective from someone who has done these medical adjuncts to body building as opposed to only ever listening to people who haven't had problems and have never done steroids. (And the chumps that lie about their steroid use and surgery can go kick rocks. Fuck them.)
