We found digital scales at our costco, and bought a pair of them. They seem to be within a pound of each other when comparing them to each other. I like the digital electronic scales over the older mechanical designs. I do notice that how you stand on a scale can affect the weight reading by up to a pound.

Bed bath and beyond have a ton. I'm going to check them out this week. I want one that will tell me exact weight. The one I have now is a Walmart one that rounds to the nearest .5

I bought a Tanita 10 years ago and it is still going strong. I needed a good scale because of my weight at the time. I also liked the fact it had 5 different memory slots so multiple people could use it and it will remember your last weigh in.

quite expensive but it was worth it.

I've had a Thinner brand scale for years!! It is always exactly four pounds different from my doctor's scale, but I'm weighing first thing in the morning and in the buff at home and with clothes on and later in the day at the doctor's office.

I can't resist - the best scale is the one that shows your weight dropping!

Do not be surprised if any scale you purchase does not exactly match the doctor's scales. Good news for me, his is always 3 pounds lighter.

I have a scale that tells me how much I gained or lost, but not the number. Godsend.

I love my scale...it keeps going down! Seriously though, I have a Taylor digital scale, it does all kinds of neat things, I bought it from Walmart many years ago and it's still going strong..

There is a 20lbs difference from my home digital scale and my surgeon's office (his is lower) - with my PCP and nutritionist's offices also being different but closer to my scale. I've been thinking it might be time to buy a new scale for home - glad I found this thread!

Mine is a Weight Watchers brand digital scale. I bought it when I had my surgery five years ago and as an obsessive weight tracker, it has held up to religious daily weigh-ins and is very accurate. I just recently had to replace the battery. I believe I bought mine at K-Mart.

      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.
