Yes, they *could* deny you, for your own safety, among other reasons. Our wonderful search engine, in response to "body mass", comes up with this (which is already in the FAQ's, which every member should read when first joining...):

Also, each study, as Kat has mentioned, has inclusion and exclusion criteria, among which is always a mention of weight in excess of a certain amount over normal. Do a little searching on your own here and I'm sure you'll turn up the criteria for the ProDisc and Charite...

Years of pain, discectomy, research into anatomy, hardware, clinical trials, facilities, surgeons, techniques, insurance. Attempts at ProDisc, Activ-L trials. Now, low bone density. D'oh!!!

At 61 years, no longer qualifying for trials due to my age (chronological, not physical or mental).

2009 - Working on improving bone density or getting rich so I can go to Germany, where medicine and insurance have gone beyond the Stone Age.
