Welcome to the Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Recipients List (kptx).

     The focus of this list is to provide support, to encourage, and provide information for Pancreas/Kidney Transplant Recipients, and those who are interested in P/K Transplants. Since dealing with the long term chronic condition and complications from years of Diabetes, still affects people after a transplant, we formed this group a few years ago to deal with those issues.

   Our only stated rule is to treat everyone on this list with respect, kindness, and understanding. While we presently approve all subscription requests , the list manager(s) also known as the list owner(s) Barry, Ned and Alan reserve the right to unsubscribe or take other action limiting a members access to the KPTX List.

   Of course, the obvious applies, please do not give or expect to receive medical advice, always consult your transplant team about information discussed on this list. We expect there will be medical professionals who will provide their input from time to time, which you should use for discussion with your transplant team.

  If you are new to the list, you might take this opportunity to introduce yourself to the others. Let us know where and when you received your transplant, (or if you're waiting for one), what part of the country you reside, how you're doing, etc. Reading the profiles of some of our list members may also help you familiarize your self with our list. We also urge you to review the profiles of KPTX members at http://geocities.datacellar.net/HotSprings/Spa/9814/

   If you "DO NOT" want to be on this list, and have tried to unsubscribe by sending a blank e-mail to kptx-unsubscribe@YahooGroups.com please notify us immediately at KPTX-owner@yahoogroups.com

   KPTX for some time has been set to moderate all new joining members. After the member sends a few on topic posts we soon set them to follow the list policy of un-moderated. This was initially done to prevent someone form joining just to send spam to the entire list. I also have turned off the setting where one could view the list of all the KPTX members. Thereby getting all the addresses in one shot rather than waiting for emails to be sent. We can only do so much to prevent those unwanted emails from finding their way to our inbox.

Please let us know if you experience any problems by sending an e-mail to our home address:
