So, long story short, as of earlier this year I no longer own a scale. Now I'm about to go buy one. Problem is, I've always weighed something different on every one, my mom's, dad's, mine, doctor's. I'd like one that's pretty accurate and in line with at least my doctor's scale. Any suggestions? Lol, thanks guys!

What ever scale you get - don't go crazy ( spoken from a scale obsessed).

Weigh youself on your scale and then go to the dr and weigh your self there . That way you will know how they differ and can start tracking better that way

I have the Weight Watchers scale and it's only 1 pound difference than my doctor's and the best part is that the 1lb is more, so when I get weighed at the doctor's office, it's always a pleasant surprise :)

The big picture is that even if you are using diff scales....try your best to focus on one scale. Its really not about a pound off either way but your consistency of progress.....good luck!!

I have a Tanita digital scale that measures body fat as well as weight. It is the same brand as the one in my doctor's office and it always matches theirs. I've had it for 10 years and it still works perfectly. BTW- Its the inexpensive one, nothing fancy besides the fat body fat measurement.

I say don't worry about it. I go by my scale! When I go to my NUT hers says one thing and an hour later I drive to my surgeons office and his says something wpelse. Remember that your weight fluctuates several times during the day so you may never be the same at home and then when you get to the doctor's office. I am a scaleaholic too and weigh myself everyday, but really count what happens each Monday.

It's all good. Believe in which ever you choose.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
