Donda West -- Big Trouble on the Table?

Posted Nov 13th 2007 10:15AM by TMZ Staff

Sources tell TMZ Donda West's operation lasted eight hours -- twice as long as it should have. We're told Dr. Jan Adams began the operation Friday morning and finished Friday evening. He then sent Ms. West home, rather than to a recovery center, which we're told, would have been appropriate.

Several doctors at Centinela Hospital where West was taken, tell TMZ they believe the excessive amount of time it took to perform the procedure strongly suggests either something went wrong during the operation or the doctor was just too inexperienced.

We're told she was dead the next evening at her home before paramedics arrived.

What's more, Dr. Adams is not Board Certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

1. Given that he has hosted a plastic surgery show on Discovery Health Channel for some time now, I'm really surprised that this didn't come out sooner.

7. With all the money that Kanye has, why on earth would she go to a doctor who isn't board certified in plastic surgery?????????????????

Seriously people the disasterous stories that come out of people going to non-certified doctors because they are cheaper or they will cut corners should be enough to make people not go to them. This your life... it is not worth it. Look at the results. 58 years old. Insane.

9. Someone already said it, but how in the world could he be on TV shw hosting plastic surgery stories and it not come out that he isn't board certfied? How did he have a practice in Beverly Hills without being certified?

10. This is so sad and all the nasty comments are uncalled for. Maybe something good will come out of all of this. Plastic surgery is serious business and anyone considering it needs to be aware that it is surgery and with any kind of surgery there is always danger. It is sad that this woman chose to go to another plastic surgeon after her other surgeon refused to operate. I hope her son comes through this and pray for him. Getting nasty is childish...but try to have some heart.

12. It is a very sad story, but I wonder why she chose someone to cut on her body who was not top-notch? I know she could afford it, and she was not stupid, if she worked for a time in college level academics. Never go the cheap when it's your one and only life.
