What do you wear to get weighed?

Usually just underwear

It depends of the kind of exam

At a private doctor office, it was generally with clothes except shoes but at a medical center for a ckeck up, it is wearing just a brief whilt two female nurses are wandering around me or behind, and at mandatory exams far in the past for jobs or at school, unversity, suprior school or for military service, it was often completely in the nude at the start of the exam

For my school medicals, it was always in just my underpants, with my gp as a child, generally in underpants and a few times naked. The most recent exams I have had were either in underpants, or underpants and trousers.

I just don't get being weighed at a physical in just your underwear, just a gown, or naked. I'm only talking about adults at their usual primary care physician, not as children or at a specialist (orthopedic, ob/gyn, etc).

Typically, I imagine people go to their PCP for either an annual physical exam, a sickness visit, a follow up visit for a sickness, or a maintenance visit (to control or monitor an ongoing disease, longterm illness, or medication). For all of my experiences, the only time that I might possibly undress is during an annual physical exam. Even then, some of my doctors kept me dressed in all of my clothes the entire time. For sickness, follow-ups, or maintenance visits, it's just adjust/ move/ remove clothes as absolutely necessary during the exam.

If the doctor weighs you naked during a physical then you come in later for a sickness, you're probably going to be weighed with all your clothes on at that time. I wouldn't imagine the doctor would have you remove all your clothes to weigh you just to then check your sore throat. That has potential for a large difference in weight measured. I would think that most doctors are more concerned with consistency, and whether you're gaining or losing weight, than absolute pin point accuracy of your naked body.

If I remember right, as a kid I'd generally get weighed with my shirt and shoes off, but pants on (or underwear at the very least). As a teenager it was usually either shirt and shoes off or just shoes off. These days it's almost always shoes off only.

I don't have a fetish to be examined naked by or in front of women, so since the nurse is generally doing the weighing, I like this the way it is. If a male doctor ever wanted to have me get naked for a more exact measurement, I wouldn't object though!

I am weighed in the hallway when heading to the exam room wearing all clothing including shoes. If I had a choice and the scale was in the exam room, wearing nothing would be good with me.

At my doctor's office normally his PA takes me to a scale in the hallway behind the receptionist and takes my height/weight. I am still dressed and have on my shoes. When I weigh myself at home on the bathroom scale I have on nothing. Even with my digital bath scale which is apparently known for accuracy, I never weigh the same as the doctor's office minus the 5lb allowance they give me for my shoes and clothing. 🙄

My husband goes to his physician wearing a three piece suit, tie and wing tip shoes. He is very formal at times. 😁 I just weighed ONE of his shoes and it weighed 790 grams, or 1580 for the pair--that's 3.35 pounds for shoes alone. Add a suit jacket, vest, shirt, socks and underwear, a five pound allowance for clothes is grossly erroneous. Doctors should not be cheap and should get a scale for every room and weigh their patients in whatever is appropriate..

It used to be done in the gown on a scale inside the exam room, but lately it has been done fully dressed, with shoes off, in a common room on the way back to the examination room itself.

I weigh at home first thing most mornings and also sometimes right after enemas are taken before off loading. While home scales are not known for absolute accuracy, they do fairly well and I can certainly see a significant the difference before and after and enema fill up and also after off loading everything into the commode. I like to keep a close eye on my weight and take action immediately if I notice a weight gain. A weight loss I never really worry about as it usually is only a pound or two. Fortunately, I have been able to maintain good weight control even though I have delivered four children!! lol Denise

Street clothes minus jacket and shoes.

Most of the time it was in underwear, but in a few occassians completely nude.

In case it was a less thorough exam, it was fully clothed except for shoes.

I've been doing a lot of medical procedures for different doctors. I only care about what I weigh every Monday morning right out of the shower. That's the true measure of watching your weight. Things like shoes and coats and wallets will usually add about 7 or 8 pounds at the Doctor's office. If you are losing weight, it still shows up there as well.

From a child to an adult I've always been weighed fully dressed, sometimes even with shoes on and a jacket if it was cold outside. And I'm guessing this was because the scale was usually in the hallway rather than in the exam room. I never really understood getting weighed totally clothed especially for an annual physical exam. It certainly doesn't give the doctor the most accurate weight. I would prefer (and it makes more sense) to be done in underwear only. This is usually what is done in wrestling/mma weigh ins anyway. Totally naked seems a tad unnecessary but wouldn't mind if that were an option.

As far back as I can remember, and as recently as last year's annual physical, I've always been weighed fully clothed on a scale in the hallway outside the exam rooms. A nurse would log the weight on my chart. Of course, that's only an approximation at best, due to the weight of clothing, shoes, etc.

There was a time from around age 10 to 18 when our family doctor had a scale with a height gauge in his exam room. I'd bet shown into the room by the nurse, directed to strip to my shorts and wait for the doc. He would do height, weight, temp, BP, etc. and then it was time to hop up on the table for the rest of the exam.

Now into retirement, weight control is an important health metric that everyone pays attention to. I still get weighed fully clothed on the scale in the hall. But for my own peace of mind, and as an incentive to watch my diet and exercise, I weigh myself in the nude every morning after my shower and a bowel movement, to get as close to a true weight as possible. My scale is in front of a full-length mirror, as an added incentive to eat properly and keep moving.

I keep a weight log using an app on my iPhone so I can see trends; and I share the "raw" data with my doctor at annual physical time. Same with the BP readings I take at the local Safeway from time to time. BP is always higher in the office; nervous effect, I expect.

@Dixon sounds like you’re doing well with the tracking. But keep in mind that the BP readings are only as accurate as the last time the machine was calibrated.

I track my weight every three days. If it’s up a little I don’t care. Overall I am pretty consistent. Same with BP. Consistently around 165 lbs and 120/70. Don’t care much at the drs office with clothes on. It’s all relative.

I have always been weighed fully clothed at the doctors office, although when I weigh myself at home I generally do it naked.

At actual appointments usually no shoes but otherwise clothed. Play exams? Usually fully naked.

At the doctors office fully clothed. At home with just undies.

@FiestySue You should be completely naked at home.

Fully clothed - scales are in public hallway.

Naked at home. Fully clothed at doctor's. Most of the time I am just asked my weight.

GirlInHeat: What happens if he finds you belly or bladder is full?

Two days ago at the doctors visit I was wearing full outdoor clothing for 10 degree F weather. Long johns, flannel shirt, wool sweater, winter safety jacket with peacock hand warmers in sweater pockets, electric hand warmers in jacket pockets. I imagine my clothing weighed about 15 pounds.

Normally I wear the clothes I came in, minus my shoes. I have been in a gown, bra, panties, and socks before, though too.

During a real exam, I prefer to wear my clothes, but in play, I don’t mind the gown.

At the doctor's office I'm fully dressed. I empty my pockets, but some of my shoes are heavy.

I am still fully dressed when I get weighed, except for shoes. I am always told to take them off so I have my weight and height taken in my socks.

If I could in the Dr.'s office, I would be naked, but I can't. So the lightest clothes as possible. At home, well naked as a "jaybird". There is a difference of about 4 pounds.

Only take off your shoes at the family doctor Seldom only wearing a slip
