I'm looking into getting a scale at home because I don't want to drive an hour round trip to use my primary care physician's (plus I'd have to make an appointment just to hop on the scale.). So does anyone have any recommendations?

I just recently bought a Weight Watchers scale. It's about a pound different from my Dr.s very expensive scale. Im not sure what it cost as i got mine at Goodwill for $5.00. Try your 2nd hand stores first before you pay full price. I would have paid retail for mine anyway, it's VERY exact. Instead of showing 195 lbs, it will show 195.2 lbs , for example. Im very happy with watching that # go down, even if its just a half of a pound. Good luck !

I have a digital one as well. I think i got it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond...you put your height in and it tells you your fat % it also saves it for you so the next time you weigh it remembers your weight from before and tells you the difference...it does the math. If you really want to get fancy Tanita ( not sure if I spelled it right) makes the best.

I did a little research and ordered the EatSmart Precision Digital scale on Amazon. It is VERY consistent and ACCURATE. I love it. Highly recommend.

Thanks everyone. What capacity are those? I'm a high number. I'm standing at 530lbs (down 15lbs since my band was put in last Monday.) so I need a high capacity scale.< /p>

The EatSmart scale has a 400 lb capacity. I am not familiar with the higher capacity scales. Good luck in finding a good one!! :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
