Feb 13 2009Usher's wife suffered cardiac arrest prior to liposuction

The first?

Who's the tranny?

brazil SUX

I'd rather an ugly woman than one so vain.

Seriously...There was a weeny removal job going on down in Brazil...Lipo my ass.

Tumescent liposuction is the safest because it is performed while the patient is awake.

The Klein Technique
The tumescent technique, which permits liposuction totally by local anesthesia, is the brainchild of Dr. Jeffrey Klein. In developing this technique, Dr. Klein placed safety as his top priority followed by excellent cosmetic results and rapid post-operative return to normal activities. Since its invention in 1985, Dr. Klein has taught numerous classes on the tumescent technique to cosmetic surgeons all over and it has become the worldwide standard of care for maximizing the safety of liposuction.

OK, keep going for the popup ads and you'll lose visitors faster than you can say lipo.

how can you be so vain! Is it really necessary? Is she some kind of model that needs to be in shape? I don't think so. Is usher gonna fuck her up because she looks fat? She just gave birth! This is just insane.

See what happens when you go to a 3rd world country for your medical needs. Should have stayed in the good ol' USA. Trying to save a few bucks almost cost her her life.

Brazil has "Universal Health Care" which is exactically what obama and pelosi want to do to us if we let them.

My sister went to mexico (the worst 3rd world shit hole) to get a tit job and when she went back for a check up, got her SUV stolen. Didn't really save any money now did she.

Is anybody else getting the Ugg Boots pop-up?

Why the fuck did she go to Brazil for Liposuction? What's wrong with Beverly Hills or New York; is this Usher guy hurting for money?

Bummer, so now she's got a beat ticker and she's still fat.

@11

That's what I was going to say. You go to Brazil for plastic surgery for two reasons, sex change and ass implants.

I'm not buying this cover story.

i do not understand why richer-than-fuck celebs go to 2nd/3rd world countries to get plastic surgery. like when ivanka trump went to mexico and got a fucked up boob job. srsly, wtf.

Well, she already got the ass implant (Usher), so I'm guessing it was a sex change.

That's what happens when you are so self-absorbed that you are willing to have a potentially life-threatening procedure for no other reason than vanity... even after bringing a child into the world. I'm guessing at no point did this cunt stop to think if having less jiggle on her thighs was truly more important than being their for her kid.

9, Almost every 1st world country besides the USA has Universal Health Care. Then again, their politicians aren't owned by insurance company lobbyists.

Usher knows she's lazy and he couldn't stand being married to a brown cow, so he pushed the limit and set up the lipo in Brazil. He must have been a tremendous support while she was pregnant.

Porch monkeys getting plastic surgery is hilarious. Nothing they can do will remove their ape-like features. Plus they all eat McDonalds and Burger King every day, so they'd have to get lipo every other week to stay thin. Gov't cheese is high in fat too....they should just embrace their simian-esque resemblance....

17--taxpayer dollars shouldn't be paying for douchebags to get cosmetic surgery.

Looks like his clever plan to kill the fattie backfired. Still, I completely understand his motivation.

If they wanted to induce a coma they should have called Chris Brown.

Health care needs to be reformed. Hillary Clinton tried to reform health care without pay while Clinton was in office. The health care industry feared losing profits and spent a lot of money on advertisement stating that Hillary Clinton's health care plan will cost Americans a lot of money. But the facts are that it would cause the health care industry profits.

The Obama-Biden plan provides affordable, accessible health care for all Americans, builds on the existing healthcare system, and uses existing providers, doctors and plans to implement the plan.

The Obama plan will lower health care costs by $2,500 for a typical family by investing in health information technology, prevention and care coordination.

Obama and Biden will require coverage of preventive services, including cancer screenings, and will increase state and local preparedness for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

There was no need for the liposuction in the first place. I'm sure it was simply a case of her outfit being unflattering for her figure.

Everywhere gov't run healthcare has been tried it has failed miserably. The healthcare will probably be very "affordable", but there won't be any doctors to go to, so what good will it do?. Just like in communist Russia, everything was "free", only without a free market, nobody will be producing anything. Same with healthcare.

20, Ummm it's not about cosmetic surgery. That's not even how UHC works, you moron. It's about not being rejected at the emergency room when you're suffering from a life-threatening condition of some kind because you can't pay the rip-off insurance rates. Cosmetic procedures are not covered, and you have to go on a waiting list for non-life-threatening procedures.

But see, in America, the rabbit hole goes so much deeper than that. All these companies also have insurance with other business people, and no one really pay anyone anything, but they somehow make a profit off of it. That's the real reason why we're in the damn stone-age when it comes to health care. The people who are the ones so against it, are usually wealthy Republicans, who let's be honest here, can afford whatever the fuck they want anyway.

*heavy sigh*
Great......here come the domestic policy analysts. Look, this is a story about Usher cheaping out on lipo for his fat wife.....not a Michael Moore documentary or a socialized health care forum. Please shut the fuck up with your wikipedia cutting and pasting. I'm just not in the mood for it today.

More KFC please.

What a lazy dreg bitch! She needs to lose weight, so instead of stopping the fork action, she opts for the knife/suck way and strokes out.

Time to trade up, Usher.

Canada has universal healthcare. That is why the wealthy (and Gov officials)
up there come to the USA for thier medical needs.

Socialism and socialized medacine has never worked. Ever. Even China had to abandon total socialism.

the only person spot on here is #16. who cares about health insurance? insurance doesn't even cover this shit. more importantly, who is taking care of their babies while this conceited bitch is having "procedures"?

This goes against ever rule I have about having a serious discussion here....

Socialized medical care does work in part. Tommy Douglas is widely regarded as the greatest Canadian to ever live... (Suprise! He didn't start a war or win a world series) Rather he saw a need for a country to take care of it's taxpayers - Even the ones who have low income jobs or no jobs. It was his belief that governments should work for it’s people. In Canada, If you have a long term disease or need a serious medical procedure, you will not have to mortgage your home and spend the rest of your life in debt because you have no adequate coverage. You can go to an industry leading hospital, get state of the art medical care and not pay. I guess caring for others is a notion lost to some governments. It's not perfect, far from it... Our taxes are outrageous, but when you can walk into a hospital and get treatment without worrying about the bill.... You can’t buy that kind of piece of mind.

Regardless, that woman is totally a man.. Birth my ass!

#9 - Leaving the keys in the car probably wasn't the best of ideas. Don't get me wrong, I know hindsight is 20/20 and all, but still...

Gorillas in the mist. All that's missing are Patrick Ewing and Michelle Obama.

In Canada you will never see a bill because you will die before your number to see the docor is ever called. That is why the wealthy and Gov Officials come to the USA to get treatment. I'm sure the services and doc's are fine there. It's the wait that will kill you.

#33, her problem was she didn't "tip" the hombre in the parking lot who "watches your vehicle" while you are inside.

My whole point to all this is, who the hell goes to a 3rd world country to get lipo? You have to expect something like this to happen when you do. It isn't worth it. Next time try eating less and exercising more.

Why did she go to Brazil to have plastic surgery? Thats asking for trouble.

Damn. I had to wipe off my screen after seeing that pic.

No disrespect to Americans in general, but could you guys bashing UHC maybe not assume you're the authority on everything, everywhere? You haven't even got UHC in your country; what do you know about it failing everywhere? Its not like private healthcare can't exsist as well (like in Britain) If you've got the money you can choose.

Aaaaanyway, yeah, Usher is loaded. He could've bought this chick her own gym and trainer.

#35 - I have a lovely Canadian friend named Janey who gets furious everythime one of us tries to tell her their healthcare system sucks. Apparently they seem to be quite pleased with their universal healthcare.

Okay, so the broad is in an induced coma, but otherwise she is doing "very well,"

God forbid that she expires, but if she did, I can see the doctor saying that she's "just resting" and "pining for the fyords".

If the USA had universal health care, we'd go bankrupt, seeing that we are the fattest country in the world. I don't want my tax money going to pay for people's bodies that are breaking down because they neglected to take care of themselves for years and binged on potato chips and gravy.

Lazy ho should've just hired a trainer instead of trying to get her fat sucked off.

You can liposuck all you like but your heart will still be a flabby, plaque-lined timebomb. Not healthy.

@39. I too have a wonderful friend named Janey who gets decent healthcare in Canada. But, she can't get Hulu.

I also have a friend named Skank...who lives in a nigloo in Canada and had her operations performed by circus bears. This one time, they left a shriner's hat in her stomach. She cant get Hulu either.

SW, I will gladly join you on that centaur adventure.

What kind of monkey is Usher?

I'm Canadian; I moved to the US so I can get Hulu; I really miss the circus bears though. Has anyone seen my Shriner's hat?

It's pretty sad that most Americans can only name 1 country with UHC: Canada, when in reality, pretty much every other country in the world has it.

Take a good look:
http://www.gadling.com/media/2007/07/healthcareworldbig.jpg

It's pretty sad that when Canadians need serious medical attention they come to the USA.

Canadian Liberal MP Belinda Stronach went to the United States for breast cancer surgery in June 2007. Stronach's spokesperson Greg MacEachern was quoted in the article saying that the US was the best place to have this type of surgery done.

When Robert Bourassa, the premier of Quebec, needed cancer treatment, he went to the US to get it.

In 2007 a woman from Calgary who was pregnant with quadruplets was sent to Great Falls, Montana to give birth. An article on this incident states, "There was no room at any other Canadian neonatal intensive care unit."

Champion figure skater Audrey Williams needed a hip replacement. Even though she waited two years and suffered in pain, she still did not get the surgery, because the waiting list was so long. So she went to the US and spent her own money to get the surgery.

A January 19, 2008, article in The Globe And Mail states, "More than 150 critically ill Canadians – many with life-threatening cerebral hemorrhages – have been rushed to the United States since the spring of 2006 because they could not obtain intensive-care beds here. Before patients with bleeding in or outside the brain have been whisked through U.S. operating-room doors, some have languished for as long as eight hours in Canadian emergency wards while health-care workers scrambled to locate care."

Too expensive for the Ushers to have the Lipo in the USA? Nice to try to save a couple bucks when you have MILLIONS. Never mind the surgical mortality rate there is probably 50%. Or should she have it in Canada & wait 25 years on a waiting list?

I recommend you a very interesting place ___MillionaireLoving co m_____ It 's where you have the opportunity dreaming about dating a millionaire and make it true!

Canadians get in and out of the doctors office MUCH faster than in the US. IN AMERICA, When I got sick I had to wait 5 hours in the waiting room to see a doctor. The American doctors had NO IDEA what they were doing. They tell me and my husband we are fine when he is suffering from Guillan Barret syndrome. He could hardly walk and the doctors told him he walked fine. We had to have other family members come in and yell at them for hours before he could get treatment. He was in the hospital on human donor immuglobin for a week when "there was nothing wrong with him." He told them what to do and he got better.

I needed to have my intestines scoped and see what was going on (chrohn's runs in my family aand they had been bothering me for a year). I go to the doctor 5 times and tell them what is wrong with me. I end up going in for the wrong thing repeatedly; radioscope of my stocmach (not bothering me) and the esophagus? My insurance ended up running out before I could get this solved so I hope I don't end up dying over this.

The American doctors are taught HOW TO WRITE A PRESCRIPTION and that is where it ends. They don't know anything about fluoridated chlorine filled city water or genetically engineered foods, or chemical preservatives and flavorings. THEY PUSH DRUGS. You get an hour in the office and they reschedule you again. I am not saying that doctors don't care, but the care sucks.

LOBBYISTS DO OWN WASHINGTON and they bought Obama. Obama helped write and push the bank bailout that Bush got all the blame for. Obama gets the second half to himself without any of the blame. He is a Democrat's wet dream. There are puppetmasters really running this country and they want to take every last penny from the middle class. The super wealthy are making the most money off of the current system and any change to it is a threat. These LOBBYISTS will do anything to hold onto he current system of health insurance.

Tell me if I have less than $100 left a month after my bills- how do I pay my $500 a month insurance (not including deductibles and copayments)?

I can´t believe how judgmental you guys can be...
It doesn´t make any difference wich country Tameka got her liposuction.
I live in Brazil and I can guarantee that we have great doctors that are even teaching you, americans, at your universities.
Get real! Stop talking about other places you´ve never been and giving opinions about you don´t actually know.
I feel bad for her, but it was her choice also.Every kind of incisions are risky, and she was willing to take responsability for her option.
While you are hating, we, the "3RD world country", are not even feeling the crisis that took over the planet these last months.

Marianne, I live in Brazil too and you're so completely delusional I don't even know what to say. Took over the planet? Not feeling the crisis? HAHAHAHAHAHA

53... Your right.... And if not elective surgery - The gov't paid for it. If they cannot treat you in province – they will foot the bill.. So when our system gets overloaded, we ship them to your hospitals (Who love the fact they get paid to buck). In the end, you get your health care. Yes our ER's are full at times, yes people get lost in the system. – Not unique to Canada alone…. It's not perfect, but it's the one thing Canadians fight so hard to keep. The US could institute universal health care, but you would have to say that awful word...TAX! In Ontario we pay 13% sales tax on inflated goods. Yeah it sucks. But when you look at the cost of a kidney transplant in the States - Approx $90 000 with recovery time… It seems to balance out in the end. Even if it didn’t, there are always elderly family members who get more than my share of care. The US is a great country, but it needs to take care of it's own people for a change and not worry about other peoples "Democracy" – Your country and ours has paid too high of a price for already.

Was she given a proper evaluation before surgery? The time after childbirth is a bit short but her overall health is more important.

Getting plastic surgery is no time to bargain hunt.

Lipo is hideous. Stupid bitch should have hit the gym.

Tameka is a man!!!!!

Was that trip REALLY necessary? If I was going to risk cosmetic mutilation, I'd want the best.

She had her monkey tail removed too. You forgot that part of the story.

AH HAHAH COUGH HAH HA HA...

NO LIPO WILL HELP THIS MAN LOOK GOOD, WTF IF I SAW THAT AT NIGHT....I'D PISS MYSELF SCARED

who knew usher wasn't gay?

Something is fishy here.

You usually do not go to Brazil to have lipo done unless you cannot find a doctor here that is willing to do it. If you are refused, it is usually because you have a medical condition that would make it dangerous.

My Dad's friend went there because he failed the medical pre testing that was done in the US(his heart was in bad shape), and in Brazil, they basically don't care. He went to get lipo too. Problem was, he ended up coming home in the cargo section of the plane and not the passenger section if you catch my drift.

I suspect that might be what happened here.

I like usher's music. I saw his hot music blog at a celeb site named /Richromances.com. Amamzing

My Dr. is Canadian, and he is awesome.

But I am here in the states, he wanted no part of being a Dr in the Canadian health system.

My son's ENT is also Canadian, and he said the same thing. He couldn't wait to get out of Canada, he said he wouldn't practice any where but the United States.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to pay a 50% tax rate, let me keep my money and I will pay for my health care myself.

Hey Canadians, Didn't Saku Koivu (Captain for the Habs) have to buy his own MRI machine when he got cancer, because there wasn't any in Canada?

When I needed an MRI in the states, I got in the same day and was in and out in about and hour. I love the American healthcare system.

Should have left her in a coma, because with all that fat, her life isn't worth living...

Brazil is probably the best place to get plastic surgery done, considering so many women (at least of the non-broke ones) and trannies have it there.

But, after they lipo her, could they leave the loose skin & just fling it over her face. She looks like a war.

I understand that a lot of people will thing that Brazil is a third world country; Yet when it comes to plastic surgery it is the Mecca... Plastic surgery was perfected in Brazil, many surgeons from the United States go to this 3rd world country to sharpen and obtain their expertise in Plastic Surgery.. She was definately not trying to save money I am sure.. In fact I believe she was looking for privacy and the best.. The problem here is that the anesthesia did not agree with her organism.. Many say "why did she visit brasil instead of having that surgery here in the US, but this does not garantee you to come out alive.. complications arrive.. look at Kanye West mom.. she had her surgery in the US and unfortunately it went wrong... The US is not the Allmighty.. Only God knows why and when.

Why are they being so obvious in their lies? NO ONE goes to Brazil for lipo. The safety standards there are so below the USA it"s scary. She was having something major that the surgeons in the State were not legally allowed to do.
Usher has the money so it was allowed to be done, it would have been done in Beverly Hills. They have the best surgeons and the best out patient centers.

That's what I call superficial...

Well, do you guys know that someone on....m i l l i o n a i r e l o v e s. c o m ......posted a topic about her? He said he is a surgeon and did the surgery for her breast, it means her breast is fake? oh, my god, why so many celebrities are interested in such a thing?

She deserved to die for being such a shallow SELFISH BITCH when she has like 10 kids at home!!

And, Usher, that is what you get for marrying your grandma.

Goodbye Career...at least you had a few hits.

A woman's body looks much better when she's worked off the excess weight versus getting surgery done, and it's much healthier on top of that. It's a no brainer.

Your fckd americans, you cause the crysis that didn't come to Brazil yet, 'cause we take care of our economy better than you. I want that you starve, because and stay without jobs, your pigs.
I really preffer Brasil that any other country, but not US, 'cause this country have Britney Spears, Michael Jakson that give me disgust and so may others singers that must let you ashamed.
About the lipo that usher's wife came here to do i do really fell but everbody have risk of some complication during an operation in any part of the world.
That's it

Usher looks like Emmanuel Lewis

you guys dont even know what you are talking about, brazils one of the best countries to get a lipo! what happened to usher's wife happens in anywhere! beverly hills, new york, brazil or any other country you morons!

you guys dont even know what you are talking about, brazils one of the best countries to get a lipo! what happened to usher's wife happens in anywhere! beverly hills, new york, brazil or any other country you moron!

It's so sad that people in Hollywood are under so much pressure....and being the wife of someone so hugely famous. My guess? She felt she wanted to keep it under wraps that she was getting lipo done, and especially so soon after childbirth because of COURSE people (anyone sane at least) would be asking WHY are you so vain that you feel it necessary to have lipo at all, much less only two months after having a baby. Why would she put her life at risk with a tiny infant when she has a tiny baby who needs her? Vanity that is at a level of insanity and the pressure of Hollywood....which is also that insane. So sad. SHAME on you Tameka for setting such a bad example to all women and mothers everywhere. I feel so badly that she almost lost her life and I can only hope that she learned a valuable lesson from it....and so did Usher if he's pushing her or supporting her decisions to do such a thing.

Why are we all talking about health care? The real issue here is that Usher's husband didn't need liposuction. He needs to have his face done. Honestly, if Usher cared about looks, he wouldn't have married Tamanka in the first place. And no one else gives a shit.

Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body's contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. Visit here or consult Dr. Robert Grant to know more about the process and its complications Liposuction Manhattan, NYC

Ignorant people like many commentators here should just go back to school and read real newspapers to know that there is nothing "thirdworldly" in Brazilian medicine. She is in one of the best hospitals of São Paulo and is certainly NOT saving any bucks for that. Ivo Pitanguy is the best plastic surgeon ever and many "American beauties" went under his scalpel.
The problem is that she is so ridiculously vain that she preferred to undergo liposuction rather than stay home with her newly born baby and hubby, just after TWO MONTHS she gave birth. She did not tell the doctors here she had just had a baby.
People must learn to take responsibility for their choices and stop blaming "the third world".

This is the superficial site - and i like that people can discuss lame shit like plastic surgery. It is also nice to know that there are a few americans capable of independant thought and can see their countries failure to take care of the majority of its' citizens. Why is such a small minority of your country only able to digest the facts?? ah shit. i know i'll get canned for this, but what the hell. three movies every american should watch - obviously 'Sicko', 'In plane Sight', and 'IOUSA'. I live in a country with universal healthcare and it has never failed me. oh, and we can get costs from plastic surgery covered if your doctor deems it 'medical' . like after a masectomy
