What Type Of Scale Do You Have?



Recommended Posts

i am 4 weeks post op today and i still do not own a scale! can anyone recommend a good one that doesnt cost a whole lot? im disappointed with the cheap usual scale you see everywhere and i spent $40 on a digital one from Walmart and it would always differ between 1 to 6 lbs. so thats not very accurate! it also died in like 9 mths! thanks in advance!

I finally broke down this weekend and purchased one from Walmart, the link is below. It is not fancy but hopefully it will provide a somewhat accurate reading. I will know for sure when comparing with the doctor's office.

I bought a new scale when I had surgery last month. I bought an Eatsmart Precision Plus Digital scale for $36.95 through Amazon. It had good reviews and I thought the price was reasonable. I am very pleased with it. It is much more accurate than my old dial type scale and I like the digital feature.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
