In my experience no, but you'll be surprised what they find issues with if, if, it is done the same way before. Nothing more than go get a doctors letter to prove thats not a problem. I had that, I had to prove I don't have a fever all of the time, I tried to tell them it was a Delta fever,

but it required going to a doctor and getting proof. Now, if you have a first class medical I, in my limited experience, would say you're fine.
And I felt like it delayed me for two weeks and I'd miss an earlier class but in truth I was in class with everyone I was hired with.
