Were you weighed the day of your surgery?

I was weighed the day of surgery but for my records, they used the weight of my preop appointment, 14 days before surgery. There is about a 5 pound difference between the two.

• @ fit4life123 my doc said same, no pre op diet unless you have contributing factors that may affect the liver. He also said if you are over 500 lbs he does a pre-op diet for his patients.

I was not weighed on surgery date.. they use my pre surgery appointment as my start weight..

I have considered my pre-op diet weight as my start.. mainly b/c IF I wasnt getting the surgery there was no way I was gonna be on Protein shakes for 2 weeks!

not at the hospital. I use my start weight from the first day I met my surgeon in his office. I didnt have to do no major diet I just had to drink 2 shakes a day o meal a day for 2 wks then the last 24 hrs before it was 3 shakes a day. I lost 11 pds on the 3 days before surgery. I weighed myself at home the morning of.

I was weighed on the day of surgery, but I use my start weight from the day I started the preop diet.

I was weighed after my surgery before I went home due to the fact the surgeon told me I would weigh out heavier from the fluids in the IV.. left weighing 306lb..

I was weighed the day of my surgery and I have two start weights, like others have mentioned. I was 260 when I started planning for my surgery and 236 the day of my surgery. Yesterday I officially entered Onederland!

Congrats on Onederland...That is a Milestone!

I was not. It was a 7:30 am surgery, so there wasn't much time to dilly-dally. I weighed myself at home before I left for the hospital, though!

For some reason I thought the operating bed weighs you....thought I saw that on a medical show...
