How are you weighed during physicals?

Mine is always done before I'm even taken to the exam room. The nurse calls my name and then takes me around the corner for height and weight. I am asked to take my shoes off and my coat if I am wearing one. She then proceeds to take me back to the exam room to do history, vitals, etc.

Usually, I am weighed fully dressed, shoes and all. I think once or twice, it's been with my shoes off. It depends on the doctors office.

It has varied from doctor to doctor. Shoes off but otherwise fully clothed when I was seeing a pediatrician. (The scale was out in the hallway, so that really was the only way to do it.) First doctor I had as an adult had me down to underwear. The last doc I had, I was fully clothed.

Unless I'm in for a complete physical, I'm weighed fully dressed. Occasionally a thoughtful nurse will say..."take your shoes off..." because as we all know, shoes add the most weight.

As soon as I am called to the back by the nurse.

As a kid I was always weighed in just underpants or even naked (I was in wrestling, and that was common back then). Now, I usually just have shoes off.

Fully Clothed.

Yes in pediatrician office.

They usually have me change into a gown first, then weigh me and measure my height.

Usually with all my clothes on still

I get weighed fully clothed since the scales are out in the hall. As a kid, I do remember getting weighed in my underwear since the scale was in the exam room. During play exams, I like to be weighed in my briefs. There is something hot about stepping up onto the scale in just my tighty whities.

Fully clothed, outside the exam room with my shoes off. I remember being young and having to be weighed outside in the hall at he pediatrician's office in just my briefs.

Last week I had an appointment with a colorectal surgeon and wasn't really expecting to do anything except bend over the table. But when the nurse took me to the exam room she told me to undress and I could wear a gown or just wear my underwear if I was comfortable with that but added you'll have to pull them down for your exam. I said underwear was fine. She left while I undressed and came back and weighed me in my boxer shorts on a scale in the room.

I think over the years I have been weighed every way. On the way to exam room is pretty common.

Some with shoes on some with shoes off. Ive been weighed in some exam room with just underware on.

For my physicals I get weighted in my underwear inside the doctors office.

I have to remove my shoes to be weighed

I have been weighed fully clothed, wearing shirt and underwear, just a shirt, and only in underwear, or naked in some cases where I didn't wear underwear as I wasn't expecting to be given the physical at that time, (I haven't worn underwear regularly in over 20 years, but I do when I'm expecting a physical.) It usually depends where the scale is located, used to be lots of medical practices where they only had one scale out in the hallway, but nowadays there is usually a scale in every exam room, so I'm more likely to be weighed in some state of undress.

Not that long ago, I was being screened to participate in a study, they didn't have me undress, but I was weighed and they asked me to take off my shoes and to empty my pockets so they could get a more accurate weight. Never been asked to do it that way before, and luckily I wasn't carrying anything embarrassing!

Usually weighed in just underwear, occasionally with gown on if a non-private scale

For every exam I had as a child, I was always required to strip down to my underwear to be weighed. That was also the case during most of my adult exams. However, for my very last physical, I was weighed wearing most of my clothes, but I did have to remove my shoes and empty my trouser pockets.

For my physicals, i was always asked to just remove my shoes (even for my physicals when I saw my pediatrician growing up).

Can't remember being weighed fo a physical since I was 16 shortly after my last abdominal operation. On that occasion because of my age my mother accompanied me to my post op examination which was probably about 4 to 6 weeks after I left hospital. I'm talking 1966 so things were different and my mother was with me the whole time. After booking in at reception I was told to go into one of the curtained cubicles around the edge of the waiting area and get undressed. With my mother with me I stripped down to my under pants then put on the dressing gown that was in the cubicle (not a modern gown) then slipped off my underpants from underneath.

We then had to sit in the open waiting area to be called. When called I was taken with my mother into an examination room and I remember being weighed only too well by the two nurses (perhaps one was a student). Rather than allowing for the weight of the dressing gown when weighing me I was told by them to remove it then stand on the big old-fashioned scales. So at 16 I was completely nude in front of the two nurses and my mother and probably explains why the memory is still fresh in my mind.

That sounds fantastic to me -- now. At 16 I might have felt much differently about it.

As both a child and as an adult, I’m weighed in the hallway before going back to the exam room. Always fully clothed.

Since I've been an adult I have always been weighed fully clothed. I have had several different doctors and I'm always weighed outside of the exam room in a hallway where everything is public and people are walking around. At home I always weigh myself naked and preferably after going to the bathroom, Lol! I want to get in as light as I possibly can. At the doctor I have to lobby to remove things like my shoes. car keys, phone. They say it doesn't make much difference but I want every ounce off that I can take.

Growing up, i would be naked and weighed at the beginning if the exam. Pretty straight forward in my opinion. The scale was in the docs office and the door was closed so no one could see in.

I was naked it was down the hall

I am weighed in a paper exam gown, nothing on under it.

I am weighted fully clothed before going into exam room.

When I am weighed, and I am not weighed at every appointment, it is fully clothed and in the hallway

At my regular doctors its just shoes off. But at other times (employment exams) its been stripped to the waist and shoes off and on one occasion just wearing underpants.
