just curious

Yup...

Yes, the pre op staff did at the hospital

yep they sure do

this 5 day pre op diet has been so hard on me I don't think I've made it all the way through to losing the rest of the weight that hes asking for. last week I saw him for my last final appointment and he said that I did good with my weight but that I need to lose a couple of more pounds and that's it. Will they cancel my surgery if I don't lose the weight the day off?

Mine didn't weigh me the day of, they weighed me at my pre op apt though.

Mine didn't weigh me the day of' date=' they weighed me at my pre op apt though.[/quote']

you mean the last final pre-op appointment with the doctor?

I wasn't weighed on the day of surgery. I had my pictures taken and weight taken at my consultation 3 weeks before surgery. Depends on the doc I think!

I didnt get weighed. And thanks be to God! i was a horrible pre-op patient!

No one weighed me the day of surgery

I didn't get weighed on the day of surgery--I did weigh myself and they asked me in pre-op what my weight was that day and I told them. You definitely want to be accurate there bc of anesthesia, etc. At my first post-op appt our numbers (of weight lost since surgery) didn't jibe, and I realized it was bc they were using my pre-op weight, which was 2 weeks before surgery. I had lost about 5 or 6 lbs between my pre-op appt and the surgery.

Wow this is surprising! I thought it was important for the anesthesiologist to know your weight for dosing??

I know, right? They did have my pre-op weight in the system, and maybe a few pounds one way or another wouldn't make a huge difference, but I still was surprised I wasn't asked to step on a scale. When I had knee surgery, I was weighed by the pre-op nurse, and when I had a hysteroscopy they asked me my weight but didn't weigh me. All three were at different hospitals.

Yes it is actually very important for them to know the amount anesthesia to administer.

Weight in preop.

The bed I was rolled into surgery had a scale on it. Maybe why some people thought they were not weighed
