Ah Ha! Another worried soul with a bit of a wobble! Worry not my friend all will be well. As others rightly say take a look at my "To fat for Oz?" threads. They will tell all :)
In a nutshell check out your BMI (body mbutt index). If it's under 40 and you have nothing else wrong then you will be fine. If it's over 40 and there is nothing wrong go to your GP and get weighed-bp taken, take some advice and go on a diet-excercise regime. (if only for your health!) Before your medicals go back to your GP and get your weight-bp done again and get him to write a letter confirming your weight is dropping, your BP is OK and you are free from serious health issues. Insist on this letter going with your medical forms.
Above all don't panic, if you are generally well you will be fine. Check out my rollercoaster ride! I did my meds with a BMI of 40.6, included the letter and there was nothing else wrong with me (although I was a cat B) and got the visa with the full 12 months entry.
I words from the wise though - start now! You never know when the request will come, the quicker you get your meds done the quicker your visa will follow.
Good luck, I am upto my eyeballs in shipping, flights and tons of other stuff at the moment so I cant spend as much time on here as I would like but if you need any support or advice, PM me.
