I would like to have a really good scale in the house before surgery. The one we have now has a lower max weight than I currently weigh.

What brand/ model/ type (whatever) of scale do you have, and do you like it?

I just bought a 30 dollar digital scale from wal mart..the name on it says *health-meter*

I like it

I bought this one from Target before my surgery, I like it: http://www.target.com/p/taylor-biggest-loser-glass-digital-scale-silver-11-2-x-12-5/-/A-13021683

It has a higher weight capacity. I have weighed myself on it immediately after returning from a weighing at the doctor, and it seems to be pretty spot on compared to the clinic scales.

Consumer Reports has some ratings here, but I don't know how recent they are: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/home-garden/beauty-personal-care/scales/scale-ratings/ratings-overview.htm
