I'm sorry man. That sucks. That's exactly what I'm afraid of happening to me. My BMI's hovering around 32-33 roughly, which is right under the wire. Figure I got a week or two to try to shed some pounds to help it. My blood pressure's right at the edge too, hovering between 120/75 to 135/95. Need to get that down too. I've been prepping for this medical for a couple years now, losing almost 100 pounds so far and staying active but even with that I'll be able to slide by only if I'm lucky it looks like. Hope they let you take your shoes off before weighing you. lol

Well done  on the weight loss. I’ve lost 40 pounds this year myself.  Like i said I did “excellent” (doctor’s words) on all the other tests including neck size. I don’t agree with it (I have no symptoms of sleep apnea) but given the trust we will be given as operators I understand the need to eliminate all doubt.  I have a consultation scheduled for Wednesday and am hoping to get a take home test kit. Really hoping I can get my spot in the August class.

I think you go to one that your doctor refers you to, my advise is to get one done in advance just in case, that way you have the documentation if they say something just make sure the paper work isn't too old.

MTA doctor told me…”note from doctor or advance test is not valid”  I would suggest making an appointment in advance but don’t waste your time getting the test

Medical today took 6 hours. Passed all exams including neck size. But I have to get a sleep study due to my BMI being too high. 

Thanks for that info

Certification*. Don’t think that’ll apply to you being that you already went for medical.  Now that the class started things should pick up again….so I hear

I didn’t get called for medical yet

Best of luck to everyone starting class today. Hope to be joining you soon. 16xx cert 27x. It says that my verification expires today? Does that mean I won’t be called for August?

There were also people with higher list numbers who took the drug test before me and were called. So I can understand them being called first for medical. I’m just checking the number of people who are in my shoes and are still waiting patiently.
