Mine is 34 and I have a few extra pounds but am not obese. I am just a
few pounds more than I was when I was in my early 20s and trying to get
into the army. My doctor said that my height to weight ratio
disqualified me but he didn't think that it should because I was big and
muscular but not fat. I ended up not going, but I was accepted.
Even at my heaviest I was taking equestrian jumping lessons.

AAMOF I had an appointment with my cardiac surgeon yesterday. He was not
at all concerned about my weight and approved of my cardio vascualr
exercise program but does not want me to resume the upper body weight
programs because of my size. He said that I am a big man with big ribs
and they are going to take longer to heal because of their size. He said
that he spent a lot of time wiring me back together and doesn't want his
good work to be pulled apart.
