Addison05 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi All We have our medicals on 6th October and are a little worried because myself and my oh are a little overweight and worried if this will have any affect. Should we be worrying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimsdu Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 You will be fine, Just did mine last week and i was slightly underweight but Dr said no probs, I asked if being overweight would be a problem and he said no they just want to make sure you dont have any illnesses that will be costly to their system, Diabetes, TB, HIV etc etc...

Guest Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I doubt it. Plenty of people who are on the larger side pass their medicals. So long as you are fit and well you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familywright Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 My husband went for his not long ago and was told he was overweight. The doc just said he should "work on it" before going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoli Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm 5 stone overweight, diabetic and on insulin and tablets and I passed so shouldn't be an issue. So long as any medical issues you may have are under control you'll be fine, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 BMI over 40 is the unofficial limit but even if you are over that it depends on other tests like blood pressure etc. Don't worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
