Donda West Warned About Surgery

TMZ has learned that just weeks before Donda West died, a plastic surgeon refused to perform procedures on her because of a health condition that could have led to a heart attack.

We've learned Beverly Hills physician, Dr. Andre Aboolian, was set to perform a tummy tuck and breast reduction on Ms. West, but told her she needed to get clearance from an internist whom Dr. Aboolian recommended. We're told West never went to that doctor, and subsequently had the procedures performed -- but not by Dr. Aboolian.

3. Oh well. You have to listen to the doctors. Sorry to see that she didn't listen. That's a huge price to pay though.
God Bless her soul!

5. I had to sign multiple releases just to get a tooth pulled...

One doesn't need to risk their life over liposuction; how about get on a treadmill, or get on a diet?

8. So she was more concerned with her appearance then her health. I can't get too sad about something like that.

13. So sad. If the facts stated are true. That a smart, educated woman such as Dr. West would disregard the advice of a prudent plastic surgeon; and instead "doctor shop'' for a plastic surgeon who would take this huge risk to perform an extensive lengthly surgical procedure on a woman with a dangerous heart condition.
Life is truly SO fragile.

14. There are comments on here that are a little inappropriate and I think that TMZ needs to watch what people say about others , it is a sad thing when anyone dies .So to all of you with cruel words I hope that people say nasty things about you when you die

15. Never been a Kanye West fan, but he has all my sympathy today. He must be devastated by this news. She died way too soon before her time should have been up. Apparently, she has always been there and been a strong force in his life. I'm truly sorry, Kanye.
