Weighing

I have been weighed both ways. In the hallway, without even taking shoes off, and in the office, in a gown, with shoes and socks off.

Sometimes at school, where examinations were very complete, I was totally naked.

Generally, and even now, weighing in underwears and socks.

I remember going for hospital appointments when I was weighed with just my shoes off, then for a period they switched and wanted me in underwear alone.

Since I was 15 I've always been weighed fully clothed.

Me as a child with wearing just my underpants too

Always weighed fully clothed, minus shoes.

I was weighed in my underwear with a robe on, but that was over 20 years ago.

I am usually weighed fully clothed. Sometimes shoes off. Depends on the day

For me it's been fully clothed by the doctor's assistant

I always wear my underwear during the weighting.

I was never told to undress completly for that.

Either as a child nor now.

From what I recall, the weigh in has always been the first step in all of my clinical experiences. (only been hospitalized once, thank goodness...knock on wood) Every time it's been the balance type; despite the technology I've yet to to be weighed on a digital scale. It's almost always right near the entrance to the exam rooms so it's always been fully clothed for me.

I have always been fullly clothed. hospital or Dr's office.

It depends on the situation, general non-exam consultation - fully clothed, shoes off. If it involves an exam - underwear.

Always been weighed in my underpants till about age 12 then in my full clothes no shoes or socks ofcourse

I am usually fully clothed, including shoes.

In our place weighing is done with the patient fully dressed,most of the time

I have a couple times, it's quite exciting and more accurate I feel like

Usually, fully clothed, without shoes.

I've never had to take more than my shoes off.

In a couple of research studies that I've participated in, I had to be weighted several times, first with full clothing and instrumentation (lots of sensors all over my body), then without the clothing but still all of the sensors, and then once the equipment had been removed, and I'd towelled down, in just my underwear. This happened at both the beginning and end of each repeat of the trials.

During my first adult physical, the nurse made me strip completely and change into a gown. After I was in my gown, she weighed me and took my blood pressure.

My non-VA primary has his scales in the entryway to where the exam rooms are, behind the front dest, so fully-dressed, including shoes. At the VA, preliminaries, including weight are done in one room and exams in another, so again fully-dressed, including shoes. At home, I weigh each morning in the nude...with my socks on.

I get my BP and weight checked in a hallway fully dressed before being taken to the exam room. Be more fun if the cute nurse had me do it nude in the exam room

Back in Brazil, wearing only underwear at the doctor's office. Here in the US, they check weight outside the doctor's office, fully clothed.

Until age 12 or 13 I was always weighed nude except for underwear. After that, fully clothed with shoes off. I never liked this much, the clothes make it look like you weigh more than you do. I did have one gynecologist who weighed me in nothing but a paper gown, I wish more doctors would do the same.

My current doctor always weighs me in my underwear only in exam room at the start of the exam.

Strip completely and but on an exam gown. Nurse comes ack in and weighs me in the gown.

Always clothed with my current Dr. You are weighed just inside the inner office door and then told to fill the cup.

I'm very used to be examined in my underpants. Very common in Spain.

In underwear until about age 17...

Most doctors these days have their scales in a public portion of the office. Individual exam rooms are way too small to have a large balance scale and they are too costly to have one in each room. It is easier to do it on the way in to the exam room. I have not been in an exam room with a scale in several years. Many years. I assume they are still out there but they are very rare. I slip my shoes off. And drop my handbag!! I have a degree in Interior Architecture. I know how expensive square footage is to rent in medical buildings. And how carefully designers divide that space up for maximum usage. OSHA now requires a break room for staff. Records take up a lot of space. Doctor's actual offices have gotten a lot smaller. It is all about keeping costs down. Actually, the exam room in my vet's office is larger than in my primary care doctor's office.
