Buff Bagwell<\/a> says he believes he messed up with an initial operation to fix his leg. He says one doctor told him he had a 75 percent chance of losing his leg, and he\u2019s had what he estimates to be \u201c30-something surgeries\u201d to try and fix the problem.<\/p>\n\u201cThere was a seven-week stay early on in 2020 where there were 21 surgeries,\u201d Bagwell said.<\/p>\n
Bagwell says no one ever mentioned amputation besides the original doctor. He continued going to doctors, and one gave him a 20 percent chance of keeping his leg. He would have had to have three different surgeries, hours of physical therapy, and his leg would have remained straight for the rest of his life. <\/p>\n
Buff Bagwell is happy he\u2019s sober, and wants to get back in the ring<\/p>\n
Bagwell believes everything happens for a reason, and he doesn\u2019t believe he would be sober if he didn\u2019t have the leg injury in the first place.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d rather be sober right now with this situation, than Buff Bagwell on WCW making money and in the funk that I was in. I\u2019d much rather have this life.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the procedure, Buff said he wants to learn how to run and get back in the ring.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll show that I\u2019ve come out of the darkness with this thing and I\u2019ve turned it around all the way to being back in the ring as Buff Bagwell. You don\u2019t have to give up with something like this. I am taking it by the horns and I am going to show the world that you can have just as good of a life with or without a leg.\u201d<\/p>\n
