I'm glad everything went well for you we had ours on Tuesday (we're both overweight) I was so relieved when our Dr said our weight didn't matter (for Australia!) now it's the long wait...........

How much!!!!!!!!
Ours cost over £550 for 2 adults and 2 children. More to the point whats this about 6 months on the wagon, nothing is worth that.
Me and the missus were both off our trolleys 2 nights before our meds.
Alcohol only stays in blood for a limited period, think about the drink driving tests.
The thought of you off the piss for 6 months is making me thirsty, I'm off for a wife beater.

Hi Peter,

Congrats on getting through your meds and hope you enjoy your or two.....

Would you mind telling us your height?? OH and I are both on the larger side (to put it nicely ) and this is one of our main concerns in having meds done.

All the best & fingers crossed your visa comes soon.

Hi
When we had our medicals done last year the doctor told me I was overweight with high blood pressure and needed to lose a couple of stone, I am 6' 3" and weight 16 stone. I never heard anything else until we got our visas a month or so later.

I went to my own doctor and said that my blood pressure was spot on and that for my height and build I was a little overweight not 2 stone.

p,s

The medicals cost 130 each plus x rays at 55 each.

John

I'm over weight, I am going to have to lose some before I go to Aus. I feel awful. I had the meds and have a CO and they didn't say anything about it so I guess we are ok on that point. Well see though lol
