Hey does anyone know where I can find a scale that goes over 300lbs? I am tired of waiting to weigh in at my dr's appointments once a month! I've tried looking online, but maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places...

I bought one at Wal-Mart that would weight up to 350 pounds. I also see several at Amazon that goes beyond 300 pounds.

I was told to get tanita scales that also do bmi, I've not researched them but they are supposed to be very accurate

The majority of the digital scales will go to 350 or more. Don't pay too much for something fancy because hopefully you won't need a special scale in the near future.

PuppyBandit,

I have a tanita (albiet an older model) and bought it for the BMI. I will say though, I'd have been just as good with a regular scale, that doesnt do BMI. It is very iffy, and I say there is no way I am 49.5 according to my scale at least the last time I weighed. Hmmm, I think I will go see now what it says. :)

Ok, I just weighed. According to my scale, I am 224.5 (I have already drank coffee and eaten today..so that is normal) and my BMI is ready??????? 49%. ALWAYS 49% and the last time I weighed at 240..it was 49%. SO I say, spend the money on a good digital, but don't worry about BMI. The lower your weight, the lower your BMI. Take it with a grain of salt!

We have a weight watchers scale that we got at bed bath and beyond and it weighs up to 400 pds. I think it was about $45.00. It has all the bells and whistles but we don't use them. It does save the previous weight for up to 3 people. Hope this helps.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
