Hi David,

Thank you so much for you interest in our Living Skin Donor Program
following weight loss. Our program offers patients the opportunity to
donate their excess skin after surgery. Your donation can help many
people in need of hernia repairs, bladder repair, reconstructive surgery
after mastectomy, etc... MTF cannot offer to pay for your surgery, or
any part of your surgery following the National Organ Tranplant Act
(NOTA). Payment for any part of your surgery would be considered buying
an organ which is illegal. I would be happy to speak to you about the
process and answer any questions you may have. If you would like I can
mail you information about our program, just be sure to respond back
with your address. If you would like to contact me I can be reached at
800-946-9008 ext 4068 or email colleen_campanella@mtf.org.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Colleen Campanella Kenny
Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation
Surgical Donation Director

I hope this helps
Well I haven't heard anything back. Thanks for posting your response, Dave.
