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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
