 I am from North Western Ontario Thunder Bay we have a clinic but no surgeon yet we travel to Hamilton and our wait time seems to be just over a year can you get all your pre tests done so that might help? Good luck and I hope truly that you are not left waiting to long

Topic: surgeons for person with high bmi ?
Hi,

I am new to OH and I do not meet the criteria for bariatric surgery in Manitoba ( bmi of less than 47 ).  My BMI is too high.  Does anyone know of any surgeons who will work with people with a BMI of 60 ?  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Topic: RE: Looking for kidney donor
My husband had a local girl donate to him 2 year ago this past April. An article was posted in the local newspaper, and she came forward...and after all testing, turned out she was a perfe ct match! I wish you all the best :)
Referral: Oct 19 2011      Info TWH : Dec 2 2011       BP Class: Feb
Nurse: July 30 2012     Diet/Nut: July 30 2012  Social Worker: July 30 2012
Surgeon:
March 15 2012 NOW April 02, 2012 Internist: July 23 2012 Surgery Date: ????????

I cancelled a couple of my appointments with surgeon, social worker, nurse ect, but now have them rebooked, and I have a different surgeon! Instead of Dr Sullivan, I have Dr.Sohi!

i know this is way out of time.

There is what's called a "paired donor exchange". My sister has described it as a "throw momma from the train" scenario.

You give a kidney to someone's person, someone else gives a kidney to your person. So you could put yourself in the running for a kidney donation to your friend, if you let them know you want to do this paired donor exchange.

I had my 1st visit with the nurse and dietition in October 2011, I had my 2nd visit in Feb 3rd 2012. Now I am waiting about 2 months for a surgery teaching class and surgery will be about a month after this,.
