Were you weighed the day of your surgery?



Recommended Posts

I was weighed the day of surgery. The weight I use as my starting weight is the weight I weighed in at the docs before I started my pre op diet. That was one week before surgery. That is the weight my docs office uses too.

I wasn't. But when I used the bathroom in the Pro-op there was a scale and I got on lol

I wasn't weighed the day of surgery so I'm using my starting weight as my last pre OP appt, which probably isn't that accurate because my order OP appt was a week before Thanksgiving & was sleeved on 12/12.

I have my journey start weight for when I started the paperwork and insurance process. Them I have surgery weight that was taken right before going back to the surgery room and post op weights have been from dr visits :)

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!

I was weighed prior to sitting down on my bed in the OR - and Yes I do use that weight as my beginning weight.

I weighed myself at home the day of the surgery. I did this without a stitch of clothing on, to get my actual weight. I then went to the hospital, weighed in with just the gown, and weighed the same. At least I had some consistency! When I go for office visits to my surgeon and nutritionist, the scale seems to fluctuate all over the place!

Once I hit goal weight, I kind of let my clothing be my gauge.

I got weighed 2 days before surgery when I signed the consent forms and then right before surgery at the hospital. I weighed the same at the hospital as I did on my own scale that morning so that's my presurgery weight though I am counting total pounds lost also since those 15lbs I did on my own certainly count
