On Friday, Kristina posted a series of photos from inside the hospital as well as a few post-procedure pics.
She revealed that the Teen Mom dad underwent a “bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery.”
The procedure was planned and went well, according to her post.
“Today @itsgarytime had his bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery. His surgery went as planned thankfully. He was entertainment for the Doctors, Nurses and staff to say the least.
“He’s back home now and resting. I feel like I’ve got a baby boy to take care of and nurse back to health,” she shared in the caption.
Amber commented on the post, showing support for Kristina.

Gary’s ex commented: “You sure do @Kristina_shirley3 thank you for my goofy pic earlier lol but he has a great nurse to take care of him and some little helpers too.”
Gary and Amber have had a rocky relationship, though it’s gotten better as of late.
During a recent episode of Teen Mom Family Reunion, Gary sat down with Amber to praise her for trying to mend her broken relationship with daughter Leah.
GARY’S HEALTH WOES
Gary revealed that he was having surgery shortly before the procedure.
He shared the news with fans in a video featuring daughter Emilee on Thursday.
Gary revealed he suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome – a common condition that causes pain, numbness and tingling in the hands and arm.
The condition occurs when one of the major nerves to the hand — the median nerve — gets squeezed or compressed as it passes through the wrist.
The father-of-two said he’s having bilateral carpal tunnel surgery, which means both of his wrists will be operated on in one session of general anesthesia.
“I’m hoping they can heal up at the same time and that way I can use my hands faster,” the MTV star told his fans.
“I don’t have a lot of strength in my hands sometimes and sometimes I wake up and they’re numb.”
Gary said Kristina would be driving him to the hospital and a family member will be looking after Emilee while they’re at the hospital.
He then turned to his young daughter and joked: “I don’t think Emilee’s too happy because I don’t get to cook for a while and she has to eat Momma’s cooking. Are you ready for that?”
Emilee laughed at the crack and moved away from the camera.
Gary shared the video on Instagram on Thursday with the caption: “Big things happening, definitely not excited.
“I absolutely hate going under anesthesia! One of my biggest fears.”
Amber wrote: “Praying for you buddy! No worries you’re strong you got this!”
Gary praised Kristina a week earlier the surgery, calling her a “beautiful soul”.
Sharing a selfie of them from a date night, he said: “You are one of the most beautiful souls I know.
“I don’t know how I would do this without you. Thank you for everything cutie pie!”
FEUD NO MORE
Gary has also recently made amends with Amber after months of feuding with his reality star ex.
The duo reunited for a lunch date with their daughter Leah at Gary’s home.
She snapped a photo with Gary, who smiled while holding a turkey club sandwich.
Amber wrote: “It’s truly the simple things! Blended families can be complicated and at times stressful.
“But it’s simple days and kind gestures that make co-parenting amazing.”
She also thanked Gary and Kirstina “for the sandwich.”
