Jim McIngvale, commonly referred to as Mattress Mack, is on the mend following a successful open-heart surgery this week.
The well-known Houston personality, recognized for his charitable initiatives especially during community crises, is now receiving an abundance of support as he embarks on his recovery journey.
A representative provided an encouraging update on McIngvale’s status, saying, “He appreciates the community’s support right now. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he focuses on his recovery.”
The surgery, performed at Methodist Hospital in Texas Medical Center, corrected a leaky mitral valve in McIngvale‘s heart. This crucial four-hour procedure was essential for his ongoing health.
