    How long did it take you to get approved once you set in your medical questionnaire? Curious as I sent it in a few days ago and haven't heard anything back, and the flight prices are going up so I'm getting antsy, was hoping to have it done at the end of October! I'm trying to schedule it so that umm, I don't get my period while I'm there, sucks to have to worry about stuff like that!
