Medical History
 
I had bunion surgery 6 years ago while in the military. I was not going to bring it up when I go to orientation. Can these trucking companies even pull my military medical records?

Bunion surgery, especially that long ago, should not be a problem with driving a truck. I don't know if they can access your medical records from the military or not. There is really no reason any company should need to access them. You will need to take a DOT medical exam, but unless there is something else in your medical history that you have not mentioned, I would not worry about it.

They cannot access anything you do not sign and give them permission to.

I never said a word about my military med records, they never asked so I didn't volunteer anything.

I had back surgery in 2007, I mention it every two years when I go for my DOT Physical, Then I show the Dr I can touch the floor with my palms and hold it as long as he likes with no pain. Never been an issue.. You just need to keep your Blood Pressure low and stay limber all should be good.

Is there a weight loss surgery and is it worth it?

When I realized that home diets could seriously harm me, I began to learn the intricacies of healthy eating, did simple exercises at home, and sometimes went to the pool. I will tell you that I made the mistake of joining regular exercise too late when the excess skin could only be removed by surgery. https://www.tonicweightlosssurgery.co.uk/ can help you. Considering that I have tried many different diets, the easiest and fastest way to lose weight is to have surgery.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through the surgery! My dad had a significant bunion injury a couple of years ago, and I know how painful it can be. He also went through quite a long recovery process, so I hope it wasn't as bad for you. I think he's still experiencing some pain resulting from that injury. Last year I moved to a different country, so I used to be quite worried for him initially. At least I know that he's doing much better now, with the guys from https://homecareassistance.com/palm-beach taking care of him 24/7. As for your military medical records, I'm sure no one will ask for them. Cheers!
