To remain working for a company, you shouldnt give them any grounds for dismissal.
Lying on a resume is grounds for dismissal.
Conclusion? Holier than thou or not, you would be better off not lying on your resume.

Previous health issues should not prevent you from getting a job, it's discrimination. Like it or not people discriminate and if it was me I wouldn't have an issue not telling them about a personal medical issue if it does not affect me doing the job.
Let's say I had AIDS and wanted an office job. I don't need to tell them I have it, and I don't have to tell them I took 18 months off to deal with it.
If you lie about having education or more experience that's one thing, illness is another. Plus you wouldn't be putting anything on your resume that was a lie, there would be a gap of 18 months of employment.
