Full disclosure: I underwent this procedure in 2003, so my surgery must be one of these. As a white male, at the time 44 years old, and at the time a BMI of 23. I believe my abdominal issues since then are not a result of surgical complications, whoever the state of being a donor with one kidney has affected medical decision making about appropriate treatment options and recommendations, and changed the risk profiles for the conditions I have experienced, considered normal changes due to aging.
