Tulip Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hello all. Has anyone here emigrated without problem after having their medical check and having a BMI over 30? I'm worried I won't lose all this weight in time for my medical check! When, approximately, are you called for your med check after you've lodged? Any help muchly muchly appreciated.

Benoli Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 i have a BMI of 42, am diabetic and on insulin and i passed so wouldn't worry. So long any weight related health issues are under good control it should be fine x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Agree with above. The medical is not there to stop overweight people moving to Australia. It will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Very relieved then, I'm 16 stone at the moment and trying so hard to lose weight so that I can participate in a more active lifestyle over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auldlaney Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 16 stone god I wish lol yes I'm fat but I'm healthy and living a wonderful life I'm glad it made you chuckle I nearly fell off the doctors bed when he said it to me. Lol I've been worrying and fretting and fretting and worrying because my husbands medical has been referred because he is very overweight!! I came across this thread and I feel heaps better......... haven't laughed about our impending move since his meds were referred, so a very big thank you I'm laughing now!!( and my hope of being granted a visa has returned!!!!!!!!)
