CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper took to Twitter on Monday to reveal that he underwent an emergency appendicitis surgery, but will report back to work on CNN just a day later.

Cooper's appendicitis announcement follows the dismay from social media fans who questioned why Cooper was absent for his "Anderson Cooper 360" show on Monday night, People reports.

John Berman filled in for Cooper on Monday night while he went through the surgery.

Cooper's reps told People that Cooper had been suffering with severe stomach pains while he was reporting in Ferguson last week. The pains later increased when Cooper traveled to France to visit family over Thanksgiving.

The rep adds that when Cooper returned to New York on Sunday, he visited his doctor who administered a quick exam to which he discovered that Cooper needed an emergency appendicitis surgery.

"I am very thankful for the efforts of my doctor and the doctors and nurses at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center," Cooper says in a statement obtained by People.

Though he still recovering from his surgery that he went through on Monday, Cooper says that he will return to work on Tuesday on CNN.

Cooper's immediate return to CNN may come as a shock for some, but People claims that Cooper's return comes as no surprise since the 47-year-old journalist has always gone above the call of duty throughout his career.

People reports that Cooper broadcasted live from both Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 Haiti Earthquake and has always remained dedicated to his job.

In addition to Cooper, FOX correspondent Elisabeth Hasselbeck was also forced to be absent from work last month due emergency urgency she underwent for tumor that doctors found in her abdomen, ABC reports.

"I had a scary week where we didn't know what the results were, but I'm OK. Everything came back OK. Surgery is not fun, but ... thankfully I had the blessing of it not being cancer," Hasselbeck said in a statement obtained by ABC.
