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.

46. I love how shocked these people are. Like, I wonder if anyone REALLY thought that the comments for this story would only be left by people who are sensitive a family's grief. Give me a break. If you're offended, stop reading and go back to reading the headlines at MSN.

47. Compassion is free... you can show it without it costing you anything. Regardless of what you think of the son or the mother or her choices, she was a HUMAN being and we all deserve compassion especially in dark times. Choose your words carefully because they can be powerful when used for good or otherwise.

49. Sounds like she wasnt to bright if she didnt go to another doctor to get and ok. If thats the case I hope the Doc that did the surgery asked for another Dr. exam. Or maybe she didnt tell the Doctor about her condition. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

50. I do believe that TMX should censor some of these comments posted on their website. I feel it is disrespectful for anyone to say hateful things about someone in their time of grief. I understand that the website allows all people to comment but it should only be open for condolences and prayers. God bless you all and Jesus is watching what you say!

On a celebrity gossip site people are bound to say inappropriate things when something like this happen. Filtering though peoples responses would make for a very boring read.
Sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad.

note to self: Excelent use of a bad cliche at the end.

54. I am sorry to her about his mother. But you weep what you so. When he said that Bush doesn't care about Black people after Katrina, he was way out of line.

55. My heart goes out to a SON who lost HIS MOTHER! I'll say a prayer for you Kanye. I know what it's like to lose a parent.

To all you sick bastards whose posts are filled with hateful words and inappropriate comments.... You'll get yours one day, and I hope you remember every nasty thing you've written and feel sorry.

56. It's sad to see a single parent who did a pretty decent job of raising her child die because she felt the need to look like society wanted her to.

In her memory I hope everyone will not remember how she died, but how she lived. We need a lot more strong single parents to tell their kids to go to school before they worry about a rap career. While the rap thing worked out for Kenya, it won't for 90% of the rest of them.

57. For God Sake, stop saying bad things about his mother. She is dead!
Only God knows the real reason.
Do you have a mother???

I can not believe you actually called her ugly.TMZ stop printing that stuff.
STOP

58. P.S. Today would have been my dad's 80th birthday. Funny how someone else losing their parent has stirred up so much in me even after 4 years of his passing. Losing a loved one is NOT a laughing matter. It's pretty clear when you read the posts... you can tell who has and who hasn't.
