@bobinnevada Just saw this and am hoping everything went well today. How large are/were your native kidneys. Just had live donor transplant in Dec. Not sure if I would qualify for the double nephrectomy but kinda want to... Thinking of you.

I had the surgery yesterday afternoon the 13th the doctor said everything went fine. Just says expected for today. I am in an awful lot of pain you would be amazed of how much smaller my stomach is now
They were the size of a smaller football. I do have a picture of them, but I’d rather not posted.
It will be a longer recovery. Since they cut me open.
I wish you the best with your new kidney
