Does anyone know how likely I will be found out if I lie about having WLS to get in?

I recently enlisted and swore in for the Army. I am waiting to be shipped off for Basic Infantry Training. Personally - I dont think participating and passing BIC or AIT will be a problem. I honestly doubt my WLS will hinder me. Now, my problem is, I had to lie to get this far in the military. My recruiter told me that if I put WLS I will NOT get in, so just dont mention it. So, OK, I didnt. I went into MEPS and passed the first medical exam by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin. (The examiner was half blinde I think, and also my RNY was a LAP so the scars arent really visible). But recently I heard there will be a second exam conducted when I actually get to my new base for Basic. Is there ANYTHING they do here that they have not done to me before? And if not, is there any other reason/way they COULD find out I have had WLS? And even if they did find out - whats the worst that could happen??? HELP! :)
