When you went for your first visit with the surgeon - did they weigh you with your clothes on or off (in a johnny)? I am specifically wondering about Dr.'s Pohl and Giovanni if anyone has had experience with them.........

Thanks!

I got weighed with my clothes on ~ I had Dr. Roye.  The loss is what is important in the end - you will be weighed in the same way every time.  I also weighed myself the morning of surgery and kept track every morning since without clothes on so I knew what my loss was to date.

 Hello I had Dr. Phol and they put me on the scale with clothes and shoes on.  Everytime from then on that is always how they have weigh me.   Hope this helped.   No question is a stupid one.

I too had Dr. Pohl, and was weighed fully dressed.

Hi Liza!

I weighed in with my clothes on the first time. It was March so I had a lot of weight then.

Think of it this way....if you're fully clothed the first time, you're wearing the biggest clothes with the most weight. As you lose weight, your clothes get smaller and weigh less too! And the summer months are great because you can wear shorts, which obviously, weigh even less!

It's all a mind game! Just pay attention to what's on your scale at home.
