I had a correctional surgery to help my sleep apnea, will this allow me to join the marines?
I dont really want to talk to a recruiter about this question because I dont want to spoil my chances… I have (had) sleep apnea, last month I had a rhino/septoplasty done to fix it. I feel ok, I am just concerned that they will look at my medical records and see "sleep apnea". I am sure the problem was fixed, but I dont really want to tell them because then I have to go get a sleep test done, and a waiver (and my sleep might still be bad). the point is I am ok, and can function like any other person. Anyway thanks ahead of time.

As long as you’re not on positive airway pressure, and everything’s corrected, you should be good to go. It won’t kill your chances to join just for asking. If you don’t want to ask your recruiter, you can ask another recruiter that you haven’t talked to before.
The only way to know for sure is to talk to a recruiter. Talking to one won’t spoil your chances. Recruiters do everything they can to get you in, they don’t want you to be unable to join unless absolutely necessary.
