It looks like you found a message thread on this topic: https://livingdonorsonline.org/ldosmf/index.php?topic=102.0

jadedkidneydonor was a guest so we don't have his/her contact information unfortunately.

Even so, it looks like bariatric (gastric bypass) survey is not a barrier to donating in the US, subject to the donor meeting all other requirements. My suggestion is that you check with your brother's doctor and the transplant team in India to see what they have to say.

Best of luck!
