me and my fiance are about to go through cdl training. My question is that she had a tummy tuck 6 months ago and I was wondering if she'd be able to get through the dot physical?
thanks

Probably should ask a doctor. Especially before you pay the school for training. Good luck to you.

the real important operations would be back operations.
don't worry about it.Ranger_309 Thanks this. -
Sorry, I wasn't sure what a tummy tucky was. If it's just cosmetic then like Rerun said, go for it!

I'm no doctor and of course you would want to talk to the doctor so you'll know not to damage anything. I would guess that type of surgery has no bearing on the job. Even some back surgeries have no impact if you follow the program right. Of course alot of hiring people will automatically refuse a application from a back surgery person just because they do not know. They are playing it too safe and wouldn't want the company coming after them saying our insurance people told you stay away from back problems.
With back problems 9 times out of 10 they gey worse. Once the back is fixed the person feels great and goes back to bad habits in lifting. But as far as you go I don't think you have a problem, but still check with the doc.
