Thank you. Is it digital or analog?? I heard most digital scales are inaccurate. I would prefer a digital over an analog but prefer an accurate weight as well.

I use my old German scale. It's a digital one. Looks pretty much like the Weight Watchers one. Saw it in BB&B. I wonder if they still have them on sale.

I just bought a fitbit aria and it does a great job. It automatically records the weight in my fitbit app so I don't have to worry about tracking it myself.

It is digital, I got digital because i have a hard time seeing the analog, but it is right on with the Dr.'s scale, so i am happy with it...

Ok, I know I'm gonna be the odd one out

but

I love my Wii Fit. It is the most accurate scale I have ever had.

Of course if you don't have a Wii it would be pointless. But if you do, it has some cute exercises and it remebers all your info. One down size is that the lady is a little mean. :rolleyes:

That's what I've been using. Measuring, measuring, measuring, Done lol. I just wasn't sure how accurate it actually is. I just got a WW digital scale. I'll check them both at the same time and see if results match.

OMG that is so funny. I love at the end when she says, "That's Obese".

"No @#$%^& @#$% I'm obese. That's why I'm here."

I curse her out every time.

      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.
