Hey there!

I’m basically reaching out today to see if anyone has gotten the surgery and attempted or has enlisted in the military post-op?

It’s been a goal of mine since I was 15 years old of wanting to be apart of something bigger and make something of myself. I have read Government PDF’s online, spoken to a couple recruiters and to two surgeons. I have gotten mixed answers, please help!

It appears that it must be confirmed in writing that it is not a disqualifier, otherwise you risk too much

Good luck 💙

Oh my oh my, I didn't realize they demand you to be in A-1 condition or they are not interested in you! Seems awfully strick but I guess I also would want the Best of The Best to maintain my freedom and keep me safe.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
