My WLS


On February 5th 2013 I had vertical sleeve gastrectomy done.  Since the surgery, including the pre-surgery diet I have lost a total of about 37lbs.  Aside from health reasons for having the surgery, in the back of mind a part of me was hoping that once I lost the weight and met the weight requirements I could join the military again.  To my dismay, from doing research and asking around I found out and was told that WLS is a PDQ from joining the military.
