Karisaugusthope 16 Posted August 29, 2013 I get banded tomorrow and was wondering do they weigh you at the hospital b4 surgery or do you just use your starting weight from home the morning of to track by??? Sorry this is probably super dumb lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pgkpjs 113 Posted August 29, 2013 My hospital did weigh me. Most should I think as part of checking your vitals before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoingforGoal 1,734 Posted August 29, 2013 Usually they weigh you because they need an exact weight for meds (like anesthesia). Just ask them to do it if they don't routinely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skb123 308 Posted August 30, 2013 They weighed me in pre op. So I am guessing they will weigh you as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colorado_chick 55 Posted August 30, 2013 They weighed me, too, the day of surgery. I have literally never entered a doctor's office or hospital without being made to step on a scale! But weigh yourself at home, just in case they don't and just in case you forget to ask. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADJL 685 Posted August 30, 2013 I did not get weighed on surgery day. But I was during pre-op that happened about 4 days before that. I wish I had done a self weigh in that day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
