The following types of cancers are more prevalent in obese patients. Some of these cancers are four times more common in obese individuals than non-obese individuals.

* Breast cancer
* Uterine cancer
* Colon cancer
* Kidney cancer
* Esophageal cancer

Researchers of several studies funded by the National Cancer Institute are still investigating the relationship between obesity and cancer, including breast, colorectal, endometrial, esophageal, ovarian, and prostate cancers (National Cancer Institute 2004).

If you are concerned about your kidneys, get a urine test done. They will know immediately if you have a kidney problem. As for the sickle trait, I am a student who studies biology and having joint pain is extremely common with people with sickle shaped blood cells as they block the normal blood cells from passing through veins and capillaries.

Hi there,

Leave your band in unless your Dr. advises you to remove your band. I have had kidney cancer also, I had to have my right kidney removed because the tumor decided to grow right smack in the middle of my kidney. I was 35 years old & had this open surgery done in 2006. I survived, and you will to.  My Dr. told me from now on to stop & smell the roses.  If you have any questions, etc. write me. Good luck!
