Re: Is there such a thing as an accurate scale?

[Guest guest]

I have a Rowenta Scale and I got it at Macy's. It go's up to 350. I

got mine for like $50 because it was the floor model and they had

run out. I begged the lady to sell it to me and I have had it almost

three years and I still love it. They have a web sight

www.rowenta.com, they cost about $100 I think,or they did last time

I looked.

Good luck

I purchased a Tanita scale (http://www.tanita.com/IndexUS.shtml) - it's used by my surgeon, Dr. Leo , and all the doctors at Pacific Bariatrics in San Diego. I think it's a terrific scale (when it says what I want it to say!)

Does anyone ave a suggestion for a good - accurate scale? (And maybe we can let Kaiser know about them!)

When I was at SSF last Wednesday, I was given my weight and told I had to lose 20 lbs before surgery. When I got home that day, I weighed myself three times (I have a talking digital scale, that rarely gives the same reading twice) - and the average of that was bout 8 pounds less than what I was told at the office. I had an appt at the new Santa Clara facility today - and it was 16.4 pounds different from the SSF reading! It has been a week and I have closely followed the meal plan and have been exercising - but not 16 pounds worth!

Thanks for your help! Hope you all have a great looong weekend!
