When I do decide to go get my medical done, I fear that my being over weight will be cause for denial. I was wondering what insight you could offer? Any other possible reasons for denial of medical. My eyesight is perfect. I eat, sleep, and breathe normally. I feel fine.

Weight is not a problem unless you are extremely obese. I have patients who fly for major airlines who are 300+ pounds.

If you go back through these posts and look for " - Medocal History", we have discussed all of the requirements for the medical exam.
