Bariatric surgeon: There are multiple questions to qualify for obesity surgery. Obesity itself will harm your only kidney. Obesity increases risks for joint disease, heart disease, and possibly diabetes. A bariatric surgeon can talk to you and probably has a weight control specialist who will want to help you even if you cannot have the surgery. You will benefit from the evaluation.

Weight loss surgery: Yes you can. I have done this on many patients like yourself.

Weight loss kidney: Donating a kidney is a remarkable gift to those who need it. You should be congratulated. It is, however, something that puts you into a category of patients at higher risk to develop kidney failure. The gastric bypass, in particular , is associated with a higher risk of kidney stones. And any of the surgeries can stress your one reminding kidney because of dehydration.
