    Hi I just dropped by, I'm not from this group, and noticed you've not had a reply from anyone as yet.

    It's not a daft question at all! I do know that when bananas get very ripe (brown spots) they have more sugar (fructose) BUT they are rich in potassium which, if you've had a nephrectomy, can effect kidney function so I'd ask a Nurse on the Macmillan Support helpline, freephone number shown below.

    Hope you get an answer soon, B xx

    Hi  as  says, do give the helpline a ring - on 0808 808 0000. They're the best folk to answer your question., Especially as potassium directly affects the kidneys.

    Good luck,

    Sue x
