Linda Woolley, of Englewood, said the doctors told her that her surgery was necessary because she was probably suffering from kidney cancer, the television channel reported.
However, KDVR got a copy of a March 2018 biopsy that showed "no evidence of malignancy" and results "consistent with a benign process".
"I'm not really happy," Woolley told the TV channel.
Since both kidneys were removed, Woolley needs four hours of dialysis three times a week, a KDVR reported.
"My life has been completely changed," Woolley said on television. "Dialysis is not a picnic, no matter what your habit is, it robs you of your life."
Woolley now needs at least one healthy kidney and the average wait time for a transplant is seven, reported KDVR. More than 95,000 people are on a waiting list, reported the TV channel.
At least five people contacted KDVR to inform reporters that they were willing to offer a kidney.
"People are wonderful, it's wonderful to see good things happen," Woolley told the television channel.
Woolley said that she was not necessarily seeking excuses from the hospital, which did not comment on the incident.
"(But) I have the impression that they owe me a kidney, that's for sure," Woolley told KDVR.
