Smile try to relax . . . . . . .

whether it's embarassing or "probing" if you get my meaning
"Intimate" examinations (ie rectal or vaginal) are almost NEVER required during any aviation medical, so best to forget that one.

For a good general idea look at post # 16 above.

For more specific info on BMI look at the other thread with exactly the same name - half way down page by now !

Good luck - don't worry !

Thanks! I have read almost any post on the medical and wasn't too concerned about the bmi especially as I am losing and have lost a considerable amount of weight already.

As long as they leave me with some clothes and I'm facing the doctor at all times I'll be happy!
