Nope... but if you are in the service, I have heard having the surgery will disqualify you from service. Check it out.

Aw well im just over weight with no health issues ill just see what they say on monday thanks

So u didnt have any health issues before? All u need is a 35 BMI to quilify

Tricare's requirement Is a BMI over 40 or a BMI of 35-39.9 with one comorbidity....for example high blood pressure, diabetes...etc but you also need 6 months of supervised diet and exercise to be approved in the TriWest region...I believe other areas have different requirements regarding the supervised diet..
