Hi guys! I’m in the very early stages of my journey. Ive stalked these forums , you tube and finally went to a seminar. Yesterday I met with the doctor for a consultation. The medical assistant weighed me on a jumbo digital scale like what I’ve seen at the vet. 167 it said. Kilos I’m assuming. She said she would convert that to pounds in the office. Once in there she tells me it is equal to 409lbs. Now this shocked me. Just 2 months ago I weighed 347. I didn’t comment but I just silently cried until the doctor came in. When I went home I searched online for a kilo to lbs converter and found the 167 kilos = 367 lbs. this seems way more likely and what I expected to hear. So my question is.... do I say something to the doctor? Is there a chance I’m missing something? It has me super freaked out Thinking what other mistakes might be made with my care.

Most offices use an electronic medical record program that automatically shows kilos, pounds and BMI. Maybe she simply typed the kilos in wrong which generated a wrong weight In pounds. Just sort it out the next time you are there.

Medications are calculated by kilos but most people want to know pounds.....back before EMRs I always carried around a small calculator but now it is all done for me....yay!!
