i am 4 weeks post op today and i still do not own a scale! can anyone recommend a good one that doesnt cost a whole lot? im disappointed with the cheap usual scale you see everywhere and i spent $40 on a digital one from walmart and it would always differ between 1 to 6 lbs. so thats not very accurate! it also died in like 9 mths! thanks in advance!

I finally broke down this weekend and purchased one from Walmart, the link is below. It is not fancy but hopefully it will provide a somewhat accurate reading. I will know for sure when comparing with the doctor's office.

I bought a new scale when I had surgery last month. I bought an Eatsmart Precision Plus Digital Scale for $36.95 through Amazon. It had good reviews and I thought the price was reasonable. I am very pleased with it. It is much more accurate than my old dial type scale and I like the digital feature.

Buy a tape measure instead. You'll be the happiest person on this forum.
