Nude Weighing

When I was pregnant naked . Now I take off to the gynecologist just need to visit and I do not mind. Instead, up to 16 years by the pediatrician once a year made ​​me strip completely naked and I weighed, but what I hated the most was when I checked the anus.

Yes once, I was 16 and that meant my mother was with me, I'd been in hospital for abdominal operations (two in short successions) and had to attend afterwards as an outpatient.

My mother accompanied me to the hospital and I was given a gown to change into in a cubicle separated from the waiting area by a curtain. My mother came into the cubicle while I undressed and I imagine I kept my underpants on (it was a long time ago and I don't remember all the details).

After that we sat in the waiting area until I was called in to an examination room occupied by two nurses. Still with my mother with me (it may have been policy because of my age) the nurses said they needed to measure and weigh me and instructed me to strip completely so I was weighed and measured completely naked in front of my mother by the two nurses who told me to stand still on the scales with my hands by my sides then with my back to wall my height was measured still with the instruction to stand upright with my hands at my sides.

A rather embarrassing thing for sixteen year old boy.

My current doctor has weighed me nude twice. At one point in the exam the underwear comes off for the genital and rectal exam, and it is then when he weighs me nude.

I have a new doctor. Now I get weighed nude. At least I know what I really weigh. Past doctor would not even let me take off my shoes; scale was in the hall.

That's the correct way....only way to know the real weight is totally nude!

I read an article recently that said that wearing clothes during a weigh in can add 2 or more pounds to your weight. The article did not that this effect is greater for men, whose clothes typically weigh more.

During my childhood I was weighed nude a lot of times. Last time when I was 17. I think it was the seed of my fetish because it's a turn on for me.

Such a hot experience! I never had something like this happen to me. But who knows, what the future will bring...

Maybe I was weighed in the nude as a little kid, but I don't remember that. The only nude weighing that I remember was for wrestling weigh-ins and we didn't usually go nude until high school unless one of us was really close to not making our weight before a tournament. As a kid, I was weighed in my underpants lots of time and for wrestling, if not nude, then almost. As a young adult, I have been weighed in my underpants only two or three times.

Usually in gown when weighed at my doctor

Never been weighed nude, I'm not sure any doctor cares enough about the 2 lbs difference I weigh with or without clothing. At most I've had nurses ask me to take my shoes off to be weighed, but that's it. There is no real reason for a weighing to be done in the nude, unless you are trying to make weight for wrestling, but that is a little different. The doctor cares about major weight changes, not the weight of your boots.

I've never been weighted at the doctors in the nude. That would be strange...

At my last appointment I was weighed fully clothed, shoes on, with cell phone, wallet, and keys in pocket outside the exam room with plenty of foot traffic.

I'm not sure a scale would even fit in the tiny exam rooms at my clinic.

Never been weighed nude. The least I wore to he weighed was shirt and underwear

The only nude weigh ins I ever had were the annual sports exams I received in high school. No modesty whatsoever - all the guys would line up nude and go through a gauntlet of stations set up in the gym, first with the nurses and then the doctor.

Anyone experience humiliation at height/weight scale?

Anyone experience humiliation at height/weight scale?

Do you mean because of being naked or because of being short and fat?

After my annual physical nearly complete, and I am completely naked at the point, my doc has me step on the scale to "get my true weight". Not a big deal at the point. I also had to weigh in naked at my military physical exam, with a line of men behind me waiting their turn. Again, not a big deal in my mine.

In France, there is no such things as gowns during the exam. In a serious medical facility, the patient should be wearing not more than underwear and socks for the weigh-in.

There is no use of weighing the person if the result is not going to be precise...

Also, I have never a scale in a hallway in France. You never get weighed in front of other people even if the nurse does it before the doctor arrives. Privacy is fully respected.

The height measurement in general practice if often missing....

In a play facility, I only weigh my patients disrobed (bra, panties) and mainly bare feet. The weighing process is precise while the patient stands motionless on the scale.

A nude weigh-in may occur if it's done at the end of the exam when the patient is fully disrobed but it is really unusual, and the weight and height measurements are best known at the beginning of the checkup !

The last time I was weighed I was only told to take my shoes off. When I started to take my coat of the Doctor said it really didn't matter too much. I thought that was odd. It wasn't a particularly heavy coat, and my weight wasn't that relevant to the appointment, but it made it all seem a bit pointless.

I actually think I'd prefer to be weighed without much on, maybe a shirt and boxers would be ideal. Would cover me (weight is always at the start when I've had it) but also minimise any extra being added.

My last weighing by a nurse, she didn't even ask me to take off my shoes. At least my winter coat was off but I did have heaps of keys and small change and a cell phone and whatnot in my pocket and a heavy leather belt, a wallet stuffed with plastic and stuff and more clothes than most people ordinarily wear, because I hate the cold.

But even though I pointed it out - not as exhaustively, but fairly long - she said it didn't matter. She said they (nurses I suppose) were very good at guestimating weight, which - hope I'm not offending anyone here - I thought rather presumptuous of her.

I suppose the real reasoning behind the weighing shortcut is that being off by even 5 kg or so, doesn't make much of a difference health-wise.

Apart from my immigration exam ive always been weighed clothed without my shoes on

Try telling that to an insurance company who puts you into a higher health risk, higher cost schedule because you are over the line for weight.

IT DOES MATTER.

Well, most countries don't run their health insurance like that. Premiums are not decided by private corporations for starters and there are no qualifiers for coverage or payments or whatever. You are a citizen or resident, you pay what you owe and that is that. You are covered.

In some countries like Spain for instance, you needn't even pay anything for the government run health insurance. All you need to be is a legal resident and complete the minimal paperwork, even if only a part-time resident or a property owner. I am covered in both Belgium and Spain.

And aside from that, if you travel as a EU citizen, you can get a EU health insurance card that guarantees health coverage in all EU countries - payments and reimbursements are worked out on a governmental level, not by individuals.

But anyway, back to the original remark: maybe weight makes a difference in assessing health, maybe it does to a minimal degree, maybe it even doesn't. In any case though, the nurses and doctors certainly act like it doesn't matter much about margins of error.

For a life insurance policy IT DEFINITELY MATTERS.

So, if that is the case, but nurses just breeze through weighing as if they could care less and put down a guestimate, then I hate to it put in this form, but: What Is To Be Done? (apologies to Mr. Ulyanov ... he he)

I have been weighed with all my clothes on, a gown, with just my panties, and totally nude. Depends on the office.

I've never been weighed totally nude. Either with clothes or just underpants on.

Normally at our regular senior school exams we were naked for most of the time including height and weighing, also for some physical exercises.

In France in the last 50's and 60's, I was only naked for a weigh -in in a few mandatory physicals examinations like at high school first and after at a military pre-induction center for the draft physical examination and still later during military service.

all the other times when I was weighted, I was undressed in brief or even sometimes in trouser when it was at a private doctor's offic

and I was never weighted on a scale located in an hallway like it seems that it occured sometimes in the United States

I am also surprised to read sometimes that the sports physicals of male students at american high schools were performed in the nude and in group in a large gym with many stations and many persons to perform the examinations, I have never known such situations in France

it was only at draft physiocals that we were stark naked in a large group in the 60's
