Thank you for considering being a living kidney donor. There should be more people like you!
The number 25 that you refer to in the first paragraph of your post is BMI? Not sure I’m understanding your question. If you have been accepted to be a living donor you should have a transplant team and coordinator. Could you run this question by that provider?

I have asked my coordinator and they say that no one experiences weight gain but I have seen online that those with BMI equal or greater than 25 will gain weight. Just asking if any one knows of this from personal experience.
