Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 I have a curious question for you longer post-ops and would appreciate any and all replies. How soon after having wls can we begin donating blood? How being tested for bone marrow? I know that there is a weight restriction on the bone marrow testing (not sure exactly what it is), but I have always wanted to do this and now I believe I can (or shortly will be able to). I take two iron tables per day, so I don't have a problem with anemia. The reason I ask about the bone marrow testing is because we have a little girl in our church that has leukemia and can no longer handle the chemo treatments. Her only hope is for a bone marrow transplant and none of her relatives matched. There were asking today at services to have people get tested to see if a match can be found in our congregation. I would love to do this if I can, so that's why I am asking. Any of you medical people out there, I would love to have any information on these two subjects. Thanks for your time.
