"First of all, I want you to know I’m doing great! I had my surgery on Monday, and by Friday, I was already at a big environmental event with my friend and fellow fitness crusader Jane Fonda," Schwarzenegger admitted.

LOS ANGELES - OCT 14: Arnold Schwarzenegger at the "Killing Gunther" Los Angeles Special Screening at the TCL Chinese 6 Theaters on October 14, 2017 in Los Angeles, CA Schwarzenegger also appreciated his medical team who helped him see the need for the procedure and cared for him through the whole process. "I want to thank my whole team at the Cleveland Clinic. All of the doctors and nurses took amazing care of me and made the surgery as painless as possible. They also advised me that it was time to go through with this because some scar tissue from my previous surgery had made my heartbeat irregular," he confessed. "It had been like that for a few years, so I stayed in touch with my medical team and visited in person at least once a year to get a full check-up and see how my heart was doing. That’s life with a genetic heart issue. But you won't hear me complaining."
