In a voicemail message obtained exclusively by Inside Edition, Kanye West's mother, Donda, jokes about her surgery plans to her friend and hairdresser, Charlay Thomas, just one day before going under the knife:
West died on November 10 at Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center in Marina del Rey, the day after plastic surgeon Jan Adams performed a abdominoplasty and breast reduction. An autopsy has yet to officially confirm whether or not the 58-year-old's sudden death was due to complications from the surgery, but Dr. Adams has offered other suggestions, such as a heart attack, a pulmonary embolism or vomiting.
Adams is currently being investigated by the California medical board for recent reports of alcohol-related arrests and malpractice lawsuits.

Of course he's "offered other explanations"...anything to divert attention from himself and to avoid a wrongful death and malpractice lawsuit.

it kinda sounds like he had everthing in place for his grand escape when the check cleared. i hope he was prepared for a long vacation with Bubba in cell 9.

It is not national news and she was probably unhealthy and hid much of her med history, fat and no exercise.

Is this really national new; she was probably unhelathy, did not exercise, sneak smoker, and did not reveal all her medical problems. It happens every day with any/all surgery and life is a risk, getting out of bed is a risk. There is probably much more to the story than the media will print, unrelated to her surgeon whom ever it is/was.

I understand having a broken nose fixed or scar removed or even a simple face lift at times but the plastic surgery field and the women who get these procedures are OUT OF CONTROL. Girls younger and younger getting all kinds of procedures done for no good reason. What most don't realize is this is surgery and most are considered major surgery. With that there are so many things that can go wrong. Kanye's Mom looked fine and looked to be aging with grace. Now God rest her soul she went before her time. Whatever the true cause it was a waste of a beautiful life. Age gracefully and realize we all are going to grow old no matter how many surgeries you have to prevent it! Looking good is one thing but dying to do it is another.

I think that her body went into a shock. My sister reciently under went several more serious surgeries. Everyone handles them differently. I saw her almost die I called the nurse and applied cold compresses to her face until the shock went away. The nurse gave her some more pain medicine and she fell asleep. I am really sorry to hear about her death. Best wishes Happy Hoildays

I agree with JOBO he is absolutely correct. I think plastic surgery is a waste of time, and a waste of money. People should be happy with what(fill in you higher god here if u have one) gave you. He or she "blessed" each and every one of us we are all different we have different figures but we are still beautiful in our own way. ur beautiful no matter how big or skinny u are

I don't understand why nobody is asking the family WHY DID SHE CHOOSE THIS DOCTOR? And then why is he still practicing?: in other words, Dept. of license & Registration, WHAT'S YOUR POBLEM?

May God bless you and your family, this has to be hard, but I have no knowledge of a mistake God has made to this day. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger! Kanye............Through Christ all things are possible and no weapons formed agaist you shall prosper.

I am all for anything you want to do to feel good about yourself, but I think eating well and working out is far esier thn putting yourself under the knife.
I am a formerly very overweight child that is a normal in shape woman that works hard at it every day. I swear by drinking plenty of water,
avoiding carb laden meals in the evening and trying to get exercise whenever you can. I wear smartsole insoles http://www.smartsole.com
to increase the calories I burn with every step. It also tones muscles. I also try to wear a pedometer to keep track of miles and
try to do 10,000 steps every day.

Instead of the plastic surgery she should have had her teeth. They looked worse than her breasts and stomach.
