In a statement to the public, Franklin said, “The surgery was highly successful. God is still in control. I had superb doctors and nurses whom were blessed by all the prayers of the city and the country. God bless you all for your prayers!”
In November, her publicist announced that she had canceled all her performances and personal appearances through May. News of the surgery came a month after the announcement.

After winning this season’s Dancing With the Stars, Jennifer Grey revealed that she is getting surgery for an injury she received while on the show.
“I ruptured a disc, and I’m gonna go home today and I’m probably gonna have surgery this week or sometime next week,” Grey told Access Hollywood.
“It’s just gonna be like a little surgery where they take out the ruptured disc thing, and you know, it won’t be a big deal,” she said.
Grey said, “Compared to the other surgeries I had on my neck, my doctor says it won’t be a big deal. I’ll be home that night.”
The actress said that the adrenaline of the show helped ease the pain.
“I gotta tell you, the win and the experience of doing – more the experience of doing 'Dancing With the Stars' – already, like I don’t even remember the pain I was in a week ago,” she said.
“I just have some discomfort in back that needs to be taken care of. OK, a little more than discomfort,” she exclaimed.
