'Fast & Furious' star Tyrese posts heartwarming note after 3-hour surgery

— -- Actor Tyrese Gibson just went through a three-hour surgery and had his two ladies right by his side the whole time.

The "Fast & Furious" star didn't name his ailment but posted a picture in the hospital, with his daughter embracing him.

"My Amazing wife and Daughter has been by my side every step of the way.... When it comes down to the real stuff no one is ever there but family," he wrote online. "Father God I thank you for your extended grace and mercy 3 hour surgery I made it through."

His surgery took place during the solar eclipse, Gibson, 38, added.

"I hope one day I figure out exactly what that meant," he said of the coincidence. "I appreciate your prayers and energy, God has a way of sometimes forcing us to slow down.... When I get up? I feel like I'm about to change the world."

He hashtagged the post, "Recovery mode."

The post-surgery pic comes shortly after he posted a video right before the procedure.

"Headed into surgery am I nervous? Yeah I am, I won't lie," he admitted Monday.
