Wore clothes. Also made sure I went to a bathroom first, if I was busting after a car trip.

The only thing I took off were my shoes.

I forgot to add that I live in a very warm climate, so my thin top and skirt don't add much extra weight.

My bariatric practice routinely deducts two pounds for clothes and shoes. I just write whatever their scale says on my pad. It occurred to me long ago that, when you're talking about losing 100 lbs, a couple mean nothing. For the same reason I long ago stopped messing with tenths of pounds. I round up or down to the nearest whole number just as I learned in school.

I guess i should have said it better haha... So when you go in for a pre op weigh in to get approved do they let you keep your clothes on or make you wear a gown??

When I went in for my pre op weigh in for approval, I had to remove my shoes and empty my pockets. I haven't heard of anyone having to wear a gown for their weigh in.

I left on my clothes and shoes. I was right at BMI 40, the surgeon WANTS insurance to pay so they don't force you to strip (at least mine didn't)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
