Urban Meyer Undergoes Appendectomy, Expected to Make Full Recovery

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer was forced to miss a scheduled appearance at the University of Findlay Wednesday after requiring an appendectomy.  

Doug Lesmerises of Northeast Ohio Media Group had the report:

"

Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer required surgery to have his appendix removed on Wednesday, his wife, Shelley, told Northeast Ohio Media Group.

Ohio State had made it public that Meyer would be forced to miss an event at the University of Findlay on Wednesday night because of an unplanned surgery. And anything regarding Meyer's health is of note given some past health issues.

But Shelley made clear this is a routine, though unplanned, medical situation and said just after noon on Wednesday that she was in the hospital with her husband with the surgery soon to begin

"

Tim May of the Columbus Dispatch reported Meyer said he is "all good" following the operation.

According to Clay Hall of ABC-6 TV in Ohio, Meyer is "doing well":

Meyer's past health concerns include chest pains he experienced in 2009 and a brain cyst he had removed in 2014.    

The coach is scheduled to throw out the first pitch at Yankees Stadium on Friday, and per Marcus Hartman of Fox Sports Ohio, that appearance has not yet been cancelled: 

Since taking over at Ohio State in 2012, Meyer has swiftly returned the program to national prominence, going a remarkable 38-3 in three seasons and leading the Buckeyes to a national title this past season.

A master recruiter and a progressive offensive mind, Meyer has coached at four programs (Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and Ohio State), has gone 142-26 in his coaching career and has won three national titles.
