How soon can you join the Army after having full tummy tuck and breast lift/augmentation?

Asked By:Momof4munchkins in El Paso, TX

I had a full tummy tuck with lipo on my flanks and lower back, a breast lift with silicone breast implants and the mesh. How long do I have to wait to be able to take on basic training and not mess up or injure my results and healing? I'm almost 4 weeks post op, 5' 4" and 130 lbs.
