Cleared :)

Just an update that yesterday I was cleared for surgery and my file was being sent to TO.

Pre-op class is Aug 20th but that's all I know for now.

PS: Weigh-in was fun, down another 14 lbs!

Question - Can any of the "larger" starters recommend a good scale since right now I just weigh in when I have my appointments at the hospital?

Congratulations! It won't be long now!

I'm a heavyweight, and I use a Weigh****chers electronic scale I got at Walmart. I think it cost in the neighborhood of $40 last year. Wait, it's this one:

It's basic, doesn't read BMI or body fat and you can't connect it to your phone apps or fitbit or anything like that.

I think it reads pretty accurately, because when I was weighted at my 1 week post-op appointment, it was only 2 lbs more than what I weighted that morning at home (I figured the 2lbs would be clothing, shoes, and the water and protein shake I'd consumed).

It can also take a beating, as my 7 year nephew loves dragging it around and weighing himself on it.

Oh that sounds like a good one to me! I don't need all the fancy stuff at this point anyway. It will be good to have an idea of weekly weight loss.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Super Exciting!!! Good for you :-)

Yes very exciting and thanks.

Yay! Congrats!

Sorry I can't offer any suggestions on a scale. My parents gifted me one 15 years ago and it's still going strong, but I have no idea what make or model it is.

It is a talking scale that goes up to 440 lbs.

Thanks neighbor lol.

Sounds like a great scale but I think the simple one Kam suggested should work just fine,,,, not intending on ever seeing 400's again!

Congratulations!!! You're on your way. :)

Thanks

I've been on the boards for a while just looking around but wanted to comment - I was in Windsor yesterday too and got the final approval too and will be in the surgery education class as well on August 20! So exciting. I will be going to TO as well.
