HI I just read your question. YES !!! kidney transpalnt patients CAN have WLS!!! My husband is almost 11 years out from his transplant and is scheduled to have WLS surgery Feb. 24th 2005. He will be having it done in Rochester, Mn as no local doctors wanted to tackle it. Rochester dr.s have done this surgery even on heart transplant pt. Let me know if you would like more info!
