Can I Donate Blood After Gatric Bypass Surgery?

September 3, 2010
Asked By:Music0723 in Michigan

Initially I was told I would never be able to donate blood if I chose gastric bypass surgery. When I had my revision of the previous surgery I asked my surgeon and he did not see why I would not be able to. It took me almost 50 years to actually start donating blood and I did it quite regularly. What are your thoughts?
