Do they weigh us at the hospital on surgery day?

So I had my pre op weigh in right before thanksgiving.  I lost the weight I was suppose to plus 3 more lbs.  Everything was great!  Since then I've eaten at thanksgiving. I've been on the "Last Supper" syndrom all last week and gained it back plus 2 more lbs.  My surgery is on Wednesday!  Is there any chance they will cancel it if I'm not at the required weight anymore?  I was only suppose to lose 6 stupid lbs on my 6 month diet before surgery anyway.  I lost it, gained it like 4 times now and am really sick of this.  I was hoping since we are lightweights it wasn't all that important if i lose the stupid 2 lbs right before surgery.  I passed my pre op weigh in so it is documented that I did lose the weight.  Do they weigh us at the hospital on surgery day? 

Hi there...I was not weighed on surgery day. I weighed in at home for my records only. 

I bet you are VERY excited for Weds...congrats on your preop success!!! 

They weighed me - but it wasn't for an "official" recording - just because that's what they do.

If you're up blame it on water - tell them you drank up until midnight and were floating.

I was weighed on the day of surgery but they took little to no notice of it, was juston record. Good Luck!

Yes, they weighed me.

Nobody weighed me unless it was after I was out.  My last weigh in was about 10 days before surgery but I was still on the optifast until the day before surgery when I was on clear liquids.  No time for last suppers but I did that earlier before starting the pre-surgery diet.

I was weighed, but solely so the anesthetist could gauge the anesthesia. My surgeon's office told me that they counted my original visit weight as the pre-op weight (because of PCP records, I did not have to do a supervised diet).

I was weighed on the day of surgery and if I was over the goal weight, the surgery would have been cancelled. Get back on your plan. Every surgery group is different, so you might want to check with the office. I had to lose at lease 10% of my weight for surgery.

 I too was weighed on surgery morning.  I knew that if I was over my pre-op goal I would have my surgery cancelled.  It's all about the practice/surgeon.  I agree, find out what the rules are so that you don't have any surprises.  I weighed in only 1 pound under goal.  I was sweating it a little for fear that I'd retain fluids or something.

I'm from MN too and boy are you ever hitting a nerve with this topic! My surgeon was adamant that we NOT regain any weight between our Pre-surgical weigh-in (about 2 weeks prior to surgery) and the morning of our surgery.  In fact, when he came in to see me in pre-op, all dressed in his scrubs and me all prepped for surgery on the table, he nearly did cancel my surgery. I had gained 1 pound. He talked with me and scolded me for a few minutes. 

There is also a very real and important physiological reason you need to have that weight loss just prior to surgery. I just looked it up for you: 

It is very important that you lose at least a small amount of weight prior to your surgery. Some patients find this confusing: why should I have to lose weight before the operation, if I'm having the operation to help me lose weight? The answer is simple. Your liver is a large organ that sits right in front of your stomach. When you lose weight (even if it's only a few pounds) much of the weight comes from your liver. This means that your liver gets smaller, making it easier for the surgeon to gain access to your stomach. Unfortunately, some patients take the wrong approach, eating "like there's no tomorrow" before their surgery. This makes their liver grow, and become infiltrated with fat. A fatty liver is heavy, brittle, and more likely to suffer injury during surgery. Needless to say, a liver injury during surgery can be extremely serious!

So given that you will hopefully be reading this on Sunday, you have 3 days to soften up that liver. I would switch to a protein liquid diet for today and then call your doctor on Monday.  I really hope this will work for you. 
Best of luck
