Kim,

My surgeon�s office recommended that I donate blood so I looked into having it shipped to LA it was going to cost over $300 for 1 unit and $600 for 2 and my insurance company would not cover the cost for shipping or banking blood only if I need blood from the bank would they cover blood.

So I decided I have done riskier things in my life and didn�t bank blood and didn�t need it. How many levels are you getting? Any more then one is a very big surgery and the risk goes up.
