Medical Release Possibility

[Cue1198]

Trying to find appropriate thread area to post, short backstory been in just over 5 years, occupation as HRA, sadly had to get an ileostomy. Currently still working and file being reviewed by DMPOL (however spell acronym) in next 10 months, doctor tracking no issues with occupation and does not see issue and if ever deployed as just to ensure have enough supplies or have it shipped. As consensuses with his medical colleagues that only would need special medical screening (forgot what was called at moment).

As Im hedging bets as talking to others in my trade others with other medical conditions released where they shouldnt have been release and should have. Im preparing for worst, but anyone heard of cases of members with ileostomy and did not affect there working capabilities in trade? I know very specific criteria, but heard from my doctor every now and then they swing heavy for release against what doctors argued. I've seen posts of those pre-enroled arguing to get in and just figured to see any stories or peoples thoughts. Just can't imaging trying to find same level job in this economy as past the FORCE and still keeping up in PT no issues with work etc lol

I am going to open by saying this in not official medical advice, just my opinion on what you've asked.

Given your surgery, you're going to be unfit sea and likely unfit isolated posting. One might be able to make a case that your deployability could be assessed on a mission-by-mission basis, but that would probably be enough to make you unfit deployment. All of this means that you are unable to meet the UofS requirements, and are probably facing release. If the reason for your ileostomy is non-permanent, you might argue that a reanastemosis would return you to full function. If however, the cause was something like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's, then reanastemosis is probably off the table. Additionally, if the cause was UC or Crohn's your probably going to be on life-long immune modulator treatment, which will absolutely make you undeployable. Talking to others is fine, but every case is assessed in isolation, meaning that very few similar cases result in similar outcomes.
