My reason for starting this blog is to give people
who have had weight loss surgery (WLS) and are interested in joining the
military an avenue to vent. There are many people out there who are
interested in joining the military and do not meet the weight requirements.
As it turns out, WLS permanently disqualifies (PDQ) you from joining...so
if you want to join and you think the only way to meet that weight requirement
is to have weight loss surgery...think again. I do not think it is fair
because people get waivers to join the military for a lot of reasons so I don’t
see why WLS surgery cant be waivered in an otherwise healthy individual. Someone
who goes as far as having weight loss surgery to qualify to join the military is
definitely a “true patriot” in my book.
