If you are obese and received a kidney transplant you need to do everything possible to lose weight:

Obese transplant recipients are at a higher risk of delayed graft function (DGF). Delayed graft function is the medical term used when a transplant doesn't start working straight away. The study referenced in this video showed that long-term patient survival was significantly worse in obese patients with 10 and 15-year survival of 71% and 56% compared to 77% and 63% in non-obese patients. Obese recipients are more likely to experience death-censored graft failure, and more likely to die with function, versus non-obese recipients. Which is why it's crucial that you speak with a professional if you're obese and have a kidney transplant. Losing weight is not the easiest thing to do so inform yourself as much as possible, and speak with a professional to help stear your in the right direction or at least help you figure out a starting point. There's also plenty of non-invasive methods out there that can help you lose weight.
