Did they weigh you on surgery day?

I was just curious, how many of you actually got weighed ON your surgery date b4 you went to OR? Is this more common than not, or vice versa?

The hospital did. As soon as I got there.

CHERI

I think the nurses get commision each time they weigh us. I've never been to ANY Band appointment and NOT been weighed - including the day of surgery.

The day of surgery I was not weighed

I was weighed after I got into a hospital gown, before they started IV fluids.

I was weighed right before I went to my little room to put on the gown.

I was weighed just before I put the gown on for surgery.

I was weighed in my flimsy hospital gown & socks

I was weighed in the OR when I checked in. It should be standard practice for the hospital to have a correct weight on admission, if you wern't weighed it was probably accidently missed.

I was weighed prior to surgery, prob 1/2 hr before. In fact I was weighed, waist measurement taken, they calculated my body fat %, checked my height. I got the works!!!!! LOL.

I was weighed after I undressed

I was surprised when I had my surgery yesterday, that I did not get weighed. I did get weighed at the pre op appointment, so I assumed they went with that weight. The pre op appointment was on Wednesday and surgery was Monday, and I know I weighed a few pounds less on surgery date.

I'm pretty sure they weighed me. Can't remember for sure but I think they did. I definitely weighed myself before leaving for the hospital.

I got weighed the day of surgery in the gown and booties. I think they do it for anesthesia purposes.
