I was weighed just before I went to the OR. After reading some threads I see that not everyone is actually weighed the day of surgery.

Question? Were you weighed before surgery and if not what do you use as your "start weight"?

I wasn't. But when I used the bathroom in the Pro-op there was a scale and I got on lol

I wasn't weighed the day of surgery so I'm using my starting weight as my last pre OP appt, which probably isn't that accurate because my order OP appt was a week before Thanksgiving & was sleeved on 12/12.

I have my journey start weight for when I started the paperwork and insurance process. Them I have surgery weight that was taken right before going back to the surgery room and post op weights have been from dr visits

I weighed myself that morning and they did weigh me right before surgery with my sweater and tennis shoes and all! I just went with my own morning weigh in sans shoes. It wasn't too off!

I was. I noticed there was a 2lb difference between my last follow up and my DOS weight.

I was weighed day of surgery and was mad there scale had me 3 lbs more than my scale at home :0)

No, I weighed myself and took measurements at home.

I was weighed the day of my surgery and I have two start weights, like others have mentioned. I was 260 when I started planning for my surgery and 236 the day of my surgery. Yesterday I officially entered Onederland!

I was weighed prior to sitting down on my bed in the OR - and Yes I do use that weight as my beginning weight.

I was weighed the day of surgery too

I was weighed before. I use my highest weight as my beginning weight.

I weighed myself at home the day of the surgery. I did this without a stitch of clothing on, to get my actual weight. I then went to the hospital, weighed in with just the gown, and weighed the same. At least I had some consistency! When I go for office visits to my surgeon and nutritionist, the scale seems to fluctuate all over the place!

Once I hit goal weight, I kind of let my clothing be my gauge.

I did a day before diet and i was weighed the day of surgery...

I got weighed 2 days before surgery when I signed the consent forms and then right before surgery at the hospital. I weighed the same at the hospital as I did on my own scale that morning so that's my presurgery weight though I am counting total pounds lost also since those 15lbs I did on my own certainly count

I was weighed the day of surgery but for my records, they used the weight of my preop appointment, 14 days before surgery. There is about a 5 pound difference between the two.
