Comment by Mani on April 9, 2012 at 5:43pm: An Appeal for Kidney donation

I Chintamani , am a 31 year old Indian citizen and California resident working for a high tech company for the past 6 years have been diagnosed with stage V kidney disease[Chronic Kidney Disease]. I have followed a health active lifestyle prior to my diagnosis. This is an appeal for a willing donor to give the Gift of life/ kidney. This is an appeal for those willing to help out a patient in need of an O+ve blood group kidney. If you are interested you can contact at help.chintamani@gmail.com for additional information.

Comment by Tashi on April 9, 2012 at 7:06am: Hi to all handsome and beautiful friends all over the world. Well, I am from Bhutan(the country with the concept of Gross National Happiness). I had my kidney transplant on 12th April 2006. Coming 12th April i will be celebrating my 6th transplant anniversary.

From 2007, i took initiative to form a NGO for kidney. Now the documents are all under legal observations. Even if its not legalized, the works are being carried out in the country.

Comment by Donna on February 11, 2012 at 2:16pm:      Amazing story Kaylin,

       God Bless you and your aunt ! Your story lifted me today.

                         thanks .....

Comment by Kaylin on February 10, 2012 at 7:48pm: I am a kidney recipient. My aunt, by the grace of God was a great match, and as soon as they attached it, it worked perfectly. I'm nearly a year and a half out and everything has gone as smoothly as it possibly could have. I have had not one side effect, and I am so happy I was given a second chance at life at only nineteen years old.

Comment by Donna on February 9, 2012 at 10:34pm:     Thanks Shalonda ...    This makes me feel better. He is a bone yard and I wonder sometimes if he will ever put weight back on.

        Got good news today ..

Bill may be coming home end of next week !

   OMG !   we are geeeked !!

Comment by Shalonda Yvette Todd on February 8, 2012 at 11:48pm: Yes, Donna weight loss is expected. I had lost quite a bit after my transplant but now I have picked up my weight, unfortunately. I think once his meds are leveled off, his weight will pick back up. You will see a change! Be Blessed.

Comment by Donna on February 8, 2012 at 3:03pm: Hello ..

I am new to TPF and to this group. My husband Bill had a kidney and liver transplant 3/2011. He is so thin. I was wondering if weight loss is normal after transplant.
