You might get assistance from the MEDICAL section on Pprune?
Yes , BMI could be a problem, if you over specific standard, and I believe Kidney stones would be a failure.
The Chinese class one medicals have 3 standards,
1) annual renewal standard (higher than FAA Class one stander ) which applies for those of you who get your CPL and ready to work in China
2) initial 91/135 standard with limitation only operation in 91/135 for Chinese citizen ( higher than annual renewal standard)
3) initatl 121 standards with no limation at all , much higher than those above ( higher than US astronaut I believe ) for my personal experience I have Fundus lesions，Found after divergence which is a failure.
