Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I was reading away at past posts trying to find out if anyone else out there had had previous health problems which precluded them from having the GB surgery. I have had a kidney transplant (2 actually) and I'm wondering if this will prevent me from having a gastric bypass. Got me thinking and a bit nervous. Anyone have any advise?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Jane, I have never heard of anyone having WLS with kidney transplants, but I don't see that it would be contraindicated. They do take every case individually, however, and if your PCP referred you then he/she obviously thinks you are qualified. The surgeon will let you know for sure. Good luck to you and let us know how it goes, Laurie W. Wondering...
