From TMZ.COM Donda West -- Big Trouble on the Table? Posted Nov 13th 2007 9:48AM by TMZ Staff Filed under: Celebrity Justice 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. .........more,..................... Donda's Surgeon -- I'm the Victim of "Sleaze" Posted Nov 13th 2007 9:18AM by TMZ Staff Filed under: Music Plastic surgeon Dr. Jan Adams has told TMZ that he was the doctor who performed cosmetic surgery on Kanye West's mother Donda before she died. Dr. Adams told TMZ her death, which followed a tummy tuck and breast reduction, was unforeseen and could have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting. Dr. Adams tells us West consulted with him over a period of four months. He says she changed her mind numerous times, sometimes greenlighting the surgery and sometimes halting it. As for the TMZ report that Beverly Hills doctor Andre Aboolian refused to conduct the surgery because of a medical condition that West had, Dr. Adams said of Dr. Aboolian, "He is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance." Dr. Adams says he did nothing wrong.
