Did they weigh you on surgery day?



Recommended Posts

Mermaidpuppy, welcome to Lap bandland!!!! I was weighted when I went in for surgery. Don't be nervous, you still have today and tomoorw to walk and cut back on your food. Are you on a liquid diet+a salad?

If they do weigh you (they weighed me) it's probably more for the anesthesia (sp?) than a way to get out of doing the surgery...if you're up a couple of pounds they probably won't even notice. My doc didn't notice that I had lost like 13 pounds on my liquid diet...if he had, he never noticed it.

Weird- I have always been weight before surgery for the good meds team (I don't know how to spell anithesiologist?)! I have always done ok because you have to stop food at midnight and liquids 6 hours before so I always feel light. Since I can only do liquids the day before that should help too!

I had to sign a document stating that if I gained weight between my final appointment and the day of surgery, the doctor had the right to postpone or cancel the surgery. They reiterated this several times. However, I only have to do liquids for 1 day, so I think it's to make sure you don't have a 2-week Farewell to food tour...

Yup when they took me into the presurgery holding area they weighed me and I was down about 14 pounds from the liquid preop.
