But there were complications and Ana Barbara passed away on June 16.
Elgar said: "The doctor assured me that there were no problems and that everything would be fine."
According to Ana Barbara's husband, the night before the couple went out partying.
And they were accompanied by the doctor who was to perform the procedure.
The couple asked the surgeon if it was safe to have the surgery hours after they all spent the night out.
But he reportedly assured them that there would be no problems.
Elgar also said that at around 11 pm on Sunday the surgery had beenad already been completed and the medical team said that Ana was unconscious but would soon be awake.
But he noticed that his wife no longer showed signs of life.
Elgar said: "They told me to go to the room, the assistants were acting strangely.
"I waited for one hour and 15 minutes to see her.
"I went down to the ground floor and a doctor said that her heart was beating slowly, while another said that she was already dead."

According to Elgar, the Turkish police were called to the hospital and doctors from the clinic were temporarily detained, however, they were released after providing clarification.
Ana's family members have accused the doctors of medical negligence.
Her brother, Bruno Buhr Buldrini, said: "The doctors rushed the process. What they did was cowardice."
Elgar added: "We will transfer her body to Mozambique and seek justice, so that they pay for what they did."
Ana Barbara's body is set to be cremated in Maputo on June 21.
Warning over cheap Turkey ops
CUT-PRICE 'too good to be true' cosmetic ops in Turkey are dangerous and need regulating, warned the UK's Health Secretary.
Wes Streeting urged people to research the risks and think twice before flying abroad to get work done.
He wants to work with governments of other countries to improve safety.
Turkey is top destination for popular surgeries including boob jobs, tummy tucks, butt and facelifts, as it is cheaper. Seven in ten foreign cosmetic ops on Brit patients are done there.
But horror stories are common and several UK women have died in recent years from complications.
There are particular concerns about the safety of Brazilian butt lifts — known as the most dangerous procedure but growing in popularity.
Research from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons found half of those who go abroad for cosmetic ops come to regret it.
Mr Streeting said: 'We need to take very seriously medical negligence and malpractice overseas. If the offer looks too good to be true, I suspect it's too good to be true.
'Think very carefully before flying overseas and paying a rock-bottom price, because you may end up paying the consequences for years. The injuries can be life-changing.'

Ricki Lake, 56, reveals how long ago she REALLY had her facelift after going public with procedure
Ricki Lake celebrated the one-year anniversary of her facelift on Instagram this week, after going public with the procedure last month. The 56-year-old talk-show icon has embarked on a long process of revamping her appearance, slimming down and arriving at her 130lb goal by January. However the process of losing weight left her with 'extra skin that hung from below my chin,' so in July 2024 she went under the knife to have it tightened. She openly discussed the procedure for the first time on TV this June, saying she was 'fully transparent' and did not 'want there to be any stigma.' Now she has fired up her Instagram to share a suite of photos documenting the process, including a side-by-side before-and-after comparison. 'One year ago today I did a thing,' she wrote Friday. 'Yes, today July 18th, is the one year anniversary of my deep plane lower face and neck lift, plus a mild co2 laser.' She showered praise on her Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Allen Foulad, saying she 'was in the best of hands' and calling him 'a true master in his field.' Ricki revealed: 'After a dear friend had the most incredible experience with Dr, Foulad, I made the decision to follow in her footsteps.' The Hairspray actress explained the thinking that led to the surgery, saying: 'I had lost 40 lbs and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin. It was never going to tighten up on its own. Not at 55.' She assured fans: 'Trust me, when I tell you, I still felt extra cute and loved myself regardless, especially after working so hard to get in the best shape of my life.' Ricky declared: 'This procedure was the icing on the cake. One year later, I look back on my brave choice and consider it one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. I share with all of you, as I am an open book and always will be.' The accompanying Instagram album offered a deep dive into the story behind Ricki's facelift, with photos showing her first consultation with the plastic surgeon, the 'the area I disliked,' some post-op 'bruising and swelling.' One of the photos showed her sitting in bed with her head bandaged, cuddling up to her 'sweet' third husband, lawyer Ross Burningham. 'He was so nervous yet so supportive,' gushed Ricki, who celebrated her third wedding anniversary with Ross this January. Ricki first announced her facelift 11 months after it occurred, during an appearance on Watch What Happens: Live! with host Andy Cohen. Name-checking her surgeon, she explained that the skin that had been 'hanging' from her neck after her weight loss had been 'bothering me,' so she 'had it fixed.' Andy, who lives in New York, rhapsodized that he was 'going to LA' for Ricki's procedure, adding: 'I've seen a lot of work in these chairs. That's really good.' Ricki embarked on her weight loss transformation amid the Ozempic craze sweeping Hollywood, but insisted she herself did not use the diabetes medication. 'I did not go on any drug because I wasn't prediabetic,' she told Us Weekly. 'There's nothing wrong with those drugs. They're actually game changers for so many people. But for me, I did not want to be reliant on a drug if I could help it.' Instead, Ricki maintained that her means of slimming down included intermittent fasting and the fashionable keto diet, combined with an exercise regimen that featured Pilates and two-mile hikes with a weighted vest everyday. She also wore a glucose monitor, as well as a device called an Oura ring that monitors a battery of biometrics like sleep, movement and stress. 'I prioritized sleep and overall, a low-stress lifestyle. And it worked. It continues to work,' said Ricki, who once weighed as much as 260lbs.

Travis Kelce goes for solemn drive in LA while Taylor Swift helps her dad recover from shock heart surgery
Travis Kelce was pictured going for an evening drive around Los Angeles on Friday night while girlfriend Taylor Swift continued to help her father after his major heart surgery. Scott Swift, 73, is on the road to recovery after undergoing a quintuple bypass on his heart over a month ago after a doctor noticed something during a routine checkup. 'The doctor found something and everything happened so fast. But they took care of it,' an insider told the Daily Mail. 'Taylor has been so concerned with her mother's health struggles over the years that her focus was really only on her. Her dad was always in great shape.' Andrea Swift, 67, has weathered both brain and breast tumors. The Daily Mail learned on Thursday that, as the singer and her family rushed to Scott's bedside, it was Kelce who 'went into total caregiver mode'. Pictures showed the Kansas City Chiefs star driving around Los Angeles on Friday. It was unclear where he was going but he has been extremely present during Scott's health crisis. Whether it's been ordering takeout meals for Taylor - 'making sure she was eating' - or checking in personally on Scott following his surgery, it is understood that NFL star has really risen to the occasion. 'This was their first crisis together and Travis was doing everything right. If Taylor wasn't ready to marry him before, she sure is now. They were in love before, but now it seems unbreakable,' our insider said. And perhaps in the biggest show yet of that 'unbreakable' bond, it can also be revealed that Travis received a much-coveted phone notification... he was added to the Swift family group chat! Thankfully, the dad of two has made a speedy recovery, and a source close to Taylor has since told Daily Mail that Scott's recovery has so far been 'fantastic.' Throughout his recovery from surgery, both Swift, and her younger brother, Austin, were by his side during the scary time. Andrea, who he has been married to for 37 years, was also there to support him. Swift's rep told the outlet that his bypass surgery was not the result of a heart attack. The surgery is quite a major one, as it requires doctors to restore blood flow to certain areas of the heart. Swift has always been close to her parents, especially her father, as he's often seen at her concerts and even at football games to support her Kelce. The health scare comes at a bad time for Kelce, who is due to report for the Chiefs' training camp on Tuesday. Travis and the Chiefs begin their annual training camp in St Joseph, Missouri on July 22 and finish on August 13. They also have three pre-season games in the schedule against the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears. Travis and brother Jason also announced this week there will be no new episodes of their smash-hit podcast 'New Heights' for the foreseeable future. Jason may be retired from the NFL but his younger brother is still active and will be unable to record while at training camp. As a result, the brothers will not be releasing new episodes of the show - which has 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube - for quite some time. In fact, a specific return date is yet to be confirmed by the duo as they prepare to turn their microphones off after next week's episode, which will be released on July 23. There are some pre-recorded interviews with special guests to come but there will be nothing new from the famous brothers. 'We have come to the end of the road,' Jason announced during this week's show.
