I know from reading medical experiences of others that height and weight are taken. Is weight purely for personal statistics or does it play a part in the medical itself? The reason that I am asking is because I am a very overweight woman and, while I have no diseases and no mental illnesses other than a depression episode a year ago (no self harm involved but that added to my weight), I do worry that weight might be taken as a factor.

If I am otherwise healthy, should I be worried?

Just as a side note, I have been trying to diet since returning to my normal self but I lack the motivation that I had prior to being ill so dieting is not progressing well.

I can't speak with entire confidence, but requests for height and weight are very standard medical questions. They will probably reccommend that you lose weight to avoid future health issues, but I doubt that it will affect your visa. Take a look at the medical Q8A on VJ and that should help you not to worry.

On a side note, if you want to lose weight the healthy way...I reccommend the following:

www.fluidity.com

It is low impact, will not hurt your joints and quite effective. I lost 30 pounds and two dress sizes on this regimen. Please take care of yourself so that you can enjoy your family for many years to come.
