I'm 6 year out gastric bypass and I can eat anything along with going a long period with out food. I'm a firefighter , EMT and 911 dispatcher. I go long times with out food. I love the military very much but I think they need to look at the EMS field before they crack down on gastric bypass. Gastric bypass doesn't stop u from fighting for the country u love. We love it with our surgery why can't we fight with it.
