At least as far as the military goes, WLS is generally a strict bar from being able to join. Not sure about the police academy, but havent heard anything. 

If you check out the Exercise and Fitness forum, you will find several post  WLS people who have trained and completed Ironman triathlons. That's the ultimate endurance exercise -im sure the police academy would be completely doable :)

Before my surgery I was in bootcamp, kickboxing and jiu jitsu. Since mesh was put in the area where they removed part of the stomach, that area will take months for full recovery. I should be able to return for bootcamp and kickboxing (with modifications) in a few weeks. Can't wait! The BJJ will not be attempted until April.
In the long haul, I don't see a problem with police. There may be issues with military requirements.

I remember eating in bootcamp...couldn't do that after wt loss surgery!!  You had 15 min to shovel in whatever you could get in!  And you needed 3000 calories a day for the **** they put you through!
