And in a new photo that has surfaced on social media, Bellingham is now sporting a huge scar down his left shoulder.
The 22-year-old shared a snap of himself in a hospital bed with a sling on after the surgery.
He thanked doctors in his Instagram post, writing: "Thank you to Andrew Wallace and Susan Alexander, their team and everyone at Fortius Clinic for the surgery and hospitality.
"To Ivan Ortega and Dr Leyes for travelling to support.
"And finally, to everyone else for all the well wishes and messages of love.
"The process to come back has already started, see you soon."
Bellingham chose to undergo surgery after soldiering on through pain since 2023.
He delayed going into hospital and managed the discomfort by wearing a brace during matches.
It has been reported that Bellingham will miss around 10-12 weeks of action, meaning he will not return to the pitch until October.
Aside from missing the start of the domestic season with Real Madrid, he will also be unavailable for England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia in September.

Three children are orphaned after their football coach father died - just months after their mother
Three children have sadly been left orphaned after their football coach father died only five months after his wife following a brief illness. Caoimhe, 19, Fionn, 15 and their younger sister, Teagan, have been left without parents after the death of their Royal Army Medical Service warrant officer, Guy McFadden-Newman. The 'loving' father and 'beloved' husband died surrounded by his children and wider family in hospital on July 30, in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. His 'dearly loved' wife and the mother of his children, Lieutenant Colonel Kerry McFadden Newman, passed away just five before on February 24, 2025. Mr McFadden Newman coached local football team, Portrush FC Youths, for nearly a decade, who described him as a 'real gentleman', a 'good friend', and a 'very well-respected and dedicated coach'. The 'absolutely devastated, shocked and heartbroken' club said in a statement: 'Everyone at Portrush FC Youths wish to offer their sincerest sympathy and condolences to Caoimhe, Fionn and Teagan and the wider family circle at this very sad and difficult time. 'Guy was a very well respected and dedicated coach at Portrush FC Youths for almost 10 years with his son Fionn and later with his daughter Teagan who both played for the club 'Guy was a real gentleman and a good friend to many. He was always first to step up and offer assistance to anyone needing help at the club. 'Nothing was too much bother for Guy, he always had a smile on his face, loved his role as a coach at the club, always showed a great example to all the kids he coached over his many years at the club and made many good friends through the club. 'Guy will be sadly missed by all that had the good fortune to know him.' Adding how their hearts go out to Guy and Kerry's children, who tragically lost both parents in a short amount of time, they said: 'RIP Guy and Kerry who will now be reunited and together forever.' A local theatre, where the family regularly participated, also released a touching tribute to the father, who was 'a quiet part of the panto family'. 'We are shocked and saddened at the loss of our friend, Guy McFadden-Newman. It comes too soon after the loss of our Kerry and our hearts go out to Caoimhe, Fionn, Teagan and the wider family circle,' the statement read. 'Guy has been a quiet part of our panto family since we began, usually being volunteered by Kerry for a role or two backstage and supporting her and the kids while they took to the boards. 'Although he might try and convince others that he was coerced, he did it all with a smile on his face and we loved having him involved. 'Family is at the heart of what we do in panto and there is no other family that has put quite so much into it.'

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy expected to play in preseason opener
August 5 - The J.J. McCarthy era will begin on Saturday, as the Minnesota Vikings plan to play the quarterback against the Houston Texans in the team's preseason opener. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed McCarthy's return to action, a year after the QB suffered a right knee injury in Minnesota's first game of the 2024 preseason. O'Connell, though, did not specify how many reps McCarthy would see not only in Saturday's matchup but also the remainder of the preseason. "You'd love to play him as much as possible," O'Connell said, "but I think with those two days of joint practice [with the Patriots], and the type of reps that the other guys on the offense will get from a physicality and workload standpoint, we'll more than likely use those two days as our real days. "Obviously, that's subject to change based upon on how those go, how we feel coming out of those. If we need to get a little more work, we will. Then we'll assess that final preseason game as it comes." After passing for 6,226 yards and 49 touchdowns at Michigan, where he led the Wolverines to the national championship in his final season, McCarthy underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus that sidelined him for his entire rookie campaign. A second procedure was performed a few months later to address swelling. Now, McCarthy sits atop the depth chart and has taken every practice snap with the first team. --Field Level Media
