Usher’s wife Tameka Raymond was released form Sírio-Libanês Hospital in São Paulo, Brazil on Monday according to E! Online, after an 11-day stay recuperating from a liposuction surgery. Usher had to cancel his Grammy appearance to see his wife in Brazil.
During her Surgery, Raymond suffered both cardiac and respiratory arrest when she was anesthetized for the liposuction procedure. This prompted doctors to place her in an induced coma for approximately 24 hours in order to avoid “unnecessary complications.”
Although Raymond is no longer in the Sírio-Libanês Hospital, it still isn’t clear if she is staying in Brazil or whether she is on route to the United States.
Usher, 30, and Raymond, 37, have yet to release any details regarding Raymond’s condition. The couple recently welcomed their second son in December.
Charlie Sheen’s pregnant wife, Brook Mueller, is doing well after emergency gall bladder surgery earlier this month.

“Dancing with the Stars” contestant, Cristian de la Fuente, is recovering from surgery to his left arm in his home in Los Angeles.
“Thank you to everyone for their concern and well wishes,” de la Fuente said in a statement to “People” magazine.
Dr. Neal S. Elattrache said he was able to get a “perfect repair of the bicep,” but “Cristian will spend about a week in a splint, then start rehab.” De la Fuente is expected to fully recover in about three months.
Although de la Fuente lost in last week’s “Dancing With the Stars” season finale, the actor, along with dance partner Cheryl Burke, danced their way to the top three.
Although “Dancing with the Stars” contestant, Cristián de la Fuente, may have injured himself pretty badly while performing on the show last week, the television actor says he will still be performing in the show. “This Monday we will be dancing,” said de la Fuente, at the Race to Erase MS gala in Los Angeles. “We have the tango and the mambo.”
Ultimately, even if de la Fuente is able to dance, he will have to undergo surgery. “They have to reattach the tendon to the bone,” he said. “They put you to sleep, do the surgery and then you have a month and a half recovery.” De la Fuente was at the 15th annual Race to Erase MS gala benefiting the Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis on Saturday.
