Will callipers acurately measure my body fat percentage?

I asked my gym if I could get my body fat percentage measured and they said I have to make an appointment and have it done using callipers. I'm not really sure what these are, but I am 1 year post-op, have lost over 160 pounds, and have been working out 3-4 times a week for the past 6 or so months. I obviously have extra skin so will that affect the readings?
