Usher's Wife Recovering, Released From Hospital

Earlier this month, HipHopDX reported that usher's wife Tameka Raymond was hospitalized after a routine cosmetic surgery went wrong in Brazil [click to read]. This week, Tameka Raymond was released after eleven days in the Sirio-Libanes Hospital, according to AP reports.

A spokesperson for the medical facility spoke on the matter Wednesday February 18. The spokesperson Ellen Dastry said that Raymond was released Monday but refused to add many more details to the story citing the family's urge to keep the matter private.

While little was known about the surgery before, more details have emerged. According to Dastry, Raymond went into cardiac arrest after being anesthetized for a liposuction surgery. Dastry also noted that Raymond was revived "using heart massage."

Other reports have alleged that complications could have stemmed from the birth of her latest child. Her youngest son was born only a couple of months before the surgery, and doctors have added that more time should be given between birth and surgery before performing liposuction on a patient. "The Fantasics," a Brazillian program alleges that Raymond may have lied about the date of her son's birth.

For now, it appears Tameka Raymond is recovering well and has been released from the hospital. No statement has been issued by Usher's camp this week but we will keep you posted.
