Wow..U R so selfless: First, i commend you for being so kindhearted and generous; donating your kidney! you can do it--keeping the wt off by eating a balanced diet, avoid sweets/soft drinks, and doing 45-60min of moderately intensive aerobic/wt bearing exercises 4-5x/wk. You will be healthier, feel better and will heal faster after surgery. We need more kind/selfless people like you on this earth. Good luck.
