Bmi?

Hi

If you get your BMI below 35 is that , without other issues, normally acceptable to the MA

Generally they don't ask for additional tests if you have BMI under 35. Otherwise regular tests should do the trick.

I wish no one goes through the BMI grind but for an experience you can find my story here:

Hi Suniel

Don't worry I've read it thoroughly and it was a wake up call

My OHs BMI was 37.5 2 weeks ago but she is now down to 35.8 > a great effort!!

We have to return additional info to CO by 1/6/10 and are hoping with this concerted effort sub 35 is obtainable

Only 4lbs to go

I wish that we had been aware of the seriousness with which NZI regard obesity before going for medicals

That's nice Francis, just few more pounds to go. Do keep a check at home once every 3-4 days so that you don't see any surprising nos. at hospital. Do let the CO know if you need more time, they are more than accommodating.

All the best & I wish to hear much better news soon.

Dont forget the waist measurements !!!!!

Thankfully they haven't asked for waist measurements again

When we had our medicals blood sugars & lipids were fine
