Franklin canceled two concerts in August 2010 after breaking two ribs in a fall. In November, she canceled all gigs and appearances through May 2011 by order of her doctors.
The singer underwent surgery on December 2. She later said her "problem has been resolved," but did not specify her ailment.
On February 11, Franklin made her first public appearance since her surgery at a basketball game in Detroit.
Franklin told talk show host Wendy Williams earlier this month that she was "feeling wonderful" and that she also lost 85 pounds.
The singer, who has struggled with her weight for many years, has denied that she had gastric bypass surgery.
