    stuff getting cleared with medical? PDA LIGATION

    I had a PDA ligation because I was born premature.. Its just a minor surgery to fix a small hole in your heart most premature babies have it. I went on military.com and they said its exempt but my recruiter said I have to get it cleared with medical. How long does it take to get something cleared with medical, does it take a long time? Has anyone here had the PDA ligation and is in the military or know if it is truly exempt so I can stop worrying?

    Know one here knows if a waiver will be approved or not, or how long it will take.

    Current or history of congenital anomalies of heart and great vessels (746), except for corrected patent ductus arteriosus, are disqualifying.
