Did they weigh you on surgery day?



Recommended Posts

I was just curious, how many of you actually got weighed ON your surgery date b4 you went to OR? Is this more common than not, or vice versa?

I think the nurses get commision each time they weigh us. I've never been to ANY Band appointment and NOT been weighed - including the day of surgery.

I was weighed after I got into a hospital gown, before they started IV fluids.

I was weighed right before I went to my little room to put on the gown.

I was weighed just before I put the gown on for surgery.

I was weighed in the OR when I checked in. It should be standard practice for the hospital to have a correct weight on admission, if you wern't weighed it was probably accidently missed.

I was weighed prior to surgery, prob 1/2 hr before. In fact I was weighed, waist measurement taken, they calculated my body fat %, checked my height. I got the works!!!!! LOL.

I was surprised when I had my surgery yesterday, that I did not get weighed. I did get weighed at the pre op appointment, so I assumed they went with that weight. The pre op appointment was on Wednesday and surgery was Monday, and I know I weighed a few pounds less on surgery date.

I'm pretty sure they weighed me. Can't remember for sure but I think they did. I definitely weighed myself before leaving for the hospital.

I got weighed the day of surgery in the gown and booties. I think they do it for anesthesia purposes.

      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.
