SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted May 11, 2013 Today I hit a milestone. As some of you know, my mom is on a kidney transplant list, has been for over 2 years. She is an extremely tough match and no one in the family matches, but I am, by far, the closest. She's goes in to see the transplant team in a couple of weeks to start discussions on a treatment that is supposed to get her antibody levels down and make her easier to match. If they're able to do the treatments, I'm #1 up to look at as a donor, but my BMI has to be <35. Today I am officially 35.0. Fingers crossed!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 217.2 10 mrhinebolt, monken, kparadisek and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's still a long shot, they have to agree to do the treatment to decrease her antibody levels then pray we are a match.....but at least I'm back in the running!
