You need a normal GI tract for the military so WLS takes you out of military service.

I doubt it would keep you from getting jobs (other than military). I can see it potentially disqualifying you some insurance policies, though. But then being morbidly obese would as well

@@catwoman7 That is correct. I practice insurance law, it happens all the time. Also, I was disqualified from obtaining a supplemental hospitalization policy because of my VSG

One of the reasons I waited until after I did my 25 years in public health for full retirement benefits before having WLS. total BS to be excluded after taking a step that did nothing but improve our long term health. Probably that a national political movement to change these policies. We could begin by lobbing politicians who have had WLS...

Life insurance... which still makes no sense to me.

Someone told me today I can never be an organ donor. Idk if it's true but that's what she said. (It's not detering me)

Actually having a higher BMI can keep you from being a organ donor. If you are healthy and meet all of the donor criteria (there are a lot) I don't see how having WLS could keep you from being a organ donor.

I was able to obtain a life insurance policy. I was about 5 years out from surgery.

I had a really crude (and naughty, more naughty than crude) comment to add but realized I'm a lady.
