Kelly Ripa undergoes gum graft surgery: Husband Mark Consuelos says, 'This one hurts'

Kelly Ripa has undergone gum graft surgery that has temporarily sidelined the daytime television host and forced her into an unusual recovery period during which she is unable to speak. Mark Consuelos revealed his wife's medical procedure during Monday's episode of ' Live with Kelly and Mark ', explaining the details of her condition to guest Nick Jonas. The surgery, recommended by Ripa's dentist five years ago, has left the famously chatty host with strict instructions to remain silent while her gums heal.
