It went something like this: "If you are 5' 10" and you weigh so much (fill in the blank), you may leave now. It will do you no good to stay". If BMI was high, they'd catch it at the physical anyway if you tried to fake your way in.
That said, is your BMI over 40? If so, then you're probably out of luck until you get it below that.
