Hello everyone! The big day is Friday. Did they weight you on your surgery date? I'm nervous I've gained 1-3lbs since my pre-op visit.

Hi no one weighed me pre-op:)

Mermaidpuppy, welcome to Lap bandland!!!! I was weighted when I went in for surgery. Don't be nervous, you still have today and tomoorw to walk and cut back on your food. Are you on a liquid diet+a salad?

Nope, no one weighed me. They just asked me my current weight.

Nobody weighed me pre-op.

If they do weigh you (they weighed me) it's probably more for the anesthesia (sp?) than a way to get out of doing the surgery...if you're up a couple of pounds they probably won't even notice. My doc didn't notice that I had lost like 13 pounds on my liquid diet...if he had, he never noticed it.

Weird- I have always been weight before surgery for the good meds team (I don't know how to spell anithesiologist?)! I have always done ok because you have to stop food at midnight and liquids 6 hours before so I always feel light. Since I can only do liquids the day before that should help too!

I had to sign a document stating that if I gained weight between my final appointment and the day of surgery, the doctor had the right to postpone or cancel the surgery. They reiterated this several times. However, I only have to do liquids for 1 day, so I think it's to make sure you don't have a 2-week Farewell to Food tour...

They did weigh me at the hospital and at my pre-op appt. I was down 14 lbs.

They weighed me before and after surgery.

(that was the first time they weighed me at all)

No and I lost weight pre-op too.

I was kind of mad too.

Yup when they took me into the presurgery holding area they weighed me and I was down about 14 pounds from the liquid preop.

shelli:whoo:

Nope --

Good Luck!

And I never thought about it I was so nervous. Wish they would have!

I was weighed.

I've been weighed before every surgery I ever had - so they can get the anaesthetic right. I'd be worried if I'd gained 10 or 20lb pre surgery, but 3lb is nothing, its a daily fluctuation. Chill!
