Hi Guys,

I've seen other threads about this, and it does not seem to be a problem. I think if you are under BMI of 40, you should be ok. They may ask for additional tests, but if you don't have any medical issues that are obesity related (e.g. diabetes, etc.), you should be ok.

I had high BMI around 38, i had blood pressure ,cholesterol and prepared for the medical by consulting a doctor for it and got it under control and went for the medical while on medication, did not declare the medication at the medical ...high bmi did not cause any problems..dont worry over it you will be fine....:clap2:
