Title: Transplant Center Called
Post by: BeachLover on May 22, 2009, 05:55:42 PM
They are sending me a packete and I will be going there (Emery in Atlanta) in July. Has anyone else been there?  I am also wondering about the time frame to receive a kidney if I am accepted.  I think it's a long time...
The process will take three days. Tests, classes and consultations with cardios. I have had bypass surgery. in 05
Anyone have any info at all about this center? Is there anything you can tell me about how I should behave or react?
I have a problem with a prolapsed uterus. Should I have this fixed before going? Would this be a health concern held against me?
I am a very light smoker. I know I have to quit now. Is two months enough time to get all the signs out of my blood and urine?

Probably can't get all signs of smoking out in 2 months...but qutiing should make them happy...I was tested every 6 months for that after I was listed though.
