How are you weighed during physicals?

I'm usually weighed in the hallway when I'm first called back, fully dressed with shoes on. The office consistently does it this way, so I'm not sure the wee bit of extra weight from clothes and shoes make much of a difference. Or off around 1% at most.

The main thing is that there aren't any wild swings from the previous exams, not getting an "exact" measurement. To be honest(I'll probably get flamed for saying this), I sort of roll my eyes a bit at the number of people who claim to have been weighed naked, especially in a non-private area like the hallway or something. With exception of maybe those who participated in sports that required a weigh-in, but thats a little different(and usually not at the doctor's office).

Fully clothed before i get to the exam room

No shoes or jacket on. Asked to remove anything in pockets of shorts. Had in si jd, shorts and tee shirt so thecweight was accurate for the moment. I usually weigh myself a the gym, nude and do it every few days. It’s pretty consistent at around 185.

I just received my real physical exam for college hockey and I was weighed in the Hallway. The doctor weighed me, not the nurse.

I was in my underwear/boxers, no socks, and weighed in the hallway. Is that standard?

For a sports team exam I would say it was standard to be weighed in just your underwear, though not necessarily in the hallway. Having said that for my sports physicals I stripped down to my boxers in the changing room and walked down the corridor to the gym that way, although the exam including getting weighed all took place in the gym. Was the hallway a public place? I would have thought that was cool especially if girls had access to that area and got to see me in my boxers!

Just had a checkup and there was this cut out area where they took vitals with a curtain. The scale they used was digital and they had me keep everything on including my shoes.

Most of the time, I'm in briefs. But when I was 14, I had an exam with my pediatrician where I was naked from the beginning.

Over the years I’ve been weighed in different ways, from fully clothed, to fully clothed with shoes off, to being in just my underpants, to being naked but wearing a gown. Most of the time the scale has been in the exam room, with the exception of my pediatricians office which was in the hallway.

Being weighed during my many physical exams has varied ... completely clothed, underwear only, and completely naked only on one occasion. No doubt, my most preferred was completely naked!

I am weighed in the hallway with my shoes off but still fully clothed

As a child I was weighed in my underwear just outside the exam room, as an adult my current doctor likes to have you weighed nude after he does the genital exam.

I am always weighed fully clothed. They want a coarse weight to 1) note if there are significant changes since your last exam and 2) for prescription dosages. I don't think EXACT weight is very important.

"scottv95" :

I presume that you want to joke in your message because I doubt that a teenage boy student being member of a sports team would have liked to be seen by some girls classmattes standing in the hall way of his school just wearing a boxer ( like you when you were undressed in boxers walking in the corridor to go from the locker room to the gym but I presume that noboidy would pass through the corridor while you were undressed ? ).

A very few teenage boys like to expose their body to the view of girls even if they are handsome boys with a muscular body if the reverse is not possible.

But I am sure that your girls classmates would have enjoyed the situation, knowing that the reverse was impossible.

Normally a fantasy situation even if I think that it could have happened in the past more occasionnally than intentionnally by a mistake on the schedule of the physicals or lack of information or mischievousness of some girls, who knows?

Esaterman, it was semi-joking based on my own experiences. As I've said before when I've described an incident when there were a number of girls in the corridor when we being escorted from the changing room (locker room) to the gym, the teacher chased them away quickly. This happened I found out after the girls has heard rumours about it being our physical that day. Wrong of the teacher not to check before we went out I guess, but just something that happened.

Being blunt, although embarrassing in one way, as a horny teenager (I was 15 at the time this happened) I still got a stiffy at being wolf whistled at by girls I fancied and seen dressed (or rather undressed!) in that way. I know from what some of my classmates said after I wasn't the only one that felt that way and I did kind of feel like I was showing off to them.

Bringing it back more to the subject of this thread, would it have been the same had I been weighed in my boxers in front of the girls? Who knows as it would have been for longer than the 15 seconds I was in the corridor from the changing room to the gym. But as I said, I can only relate to my own experience.

"scottv95 ": interesting experience because it shows that I was right in my message.

funny too because it shows how girls could be mischievous sometimes.

Even if it was generally not planned at all, it could obviously happen occasionnaly or incidently by a luck of check of Pe teachers or school authorities that some girls came in a corridor or a hallway where they hoped to see the boys already undressed as it was in your case.

It was normal that rumors run through the school so that the girls knew that this was the day of the physicals of the boys,and some thought that it was a good opportunity to try to watch them in underwears if they were lucky !

Anyway your exposure to the view of the girls classmates was very quick since the teachers chased them away quickly... and you were walking, not exposed standing on a scale as if the weigh-in would have been performed in the corridor.

But I am sure that such experiences were rather frequent and sometimes more embarrassing since boys could have been stark naked instead of being in underwears like in your case.

I am sure that when the exam took place in a gym, it could happen also that a door stayed opened giving a view into the gym to any persons, including a group of girls, walking by the door in a corridor because somebody had forgotten to close it, or may be it was possible to have a view on the gym by a window which was not closed that day incidently.

In my opinion, it happened never intentionnally ( not CFMN situations which are fantasy) but incidently , there was so much possibilities...andI am quite sure that the teachers were not checking as well as for girls when thre was a physical examination.

I take my shoes off and leave my wallet, phone and keys on the examining table and then just step on the doctor's scale (which is now digital). That's it. All of my clothes stay on during the weigh in.

I've always just had to remove my shoes for that part, then change into a gown afterwards.

My doctor is a stickler for accuracy so I am weighed in my underwear. The scale itself is in the exam room not in the hallway.

Underwear

Anytime i get weighed at a hospital appointment it is as i walked in, clothes, shoes and all, and usually by a slightly over weight nurse.

When i go to the parkinsons nurse check up, its done sitting in a special chair, almost like a gyno chair, but without the stirrups.

.... and usually by a slightly over weight nurse.

Cute observation!!

The doctor asks me about my weigth.

Same here, although this is at the doctors office and not at the hospital. Really, it just matters that they're consistent in how dressed you are. Weighing in just gown one year, and fully dressed the next, isn't fair to you. 😜

The nurse has me take off my jacket if I'm wearing one and leave it in the exam room. Then she weighs me in the hallway just outside the exam room next to the reception desk/ nurses station.

I'm dressed in underwear and the doctor moves the weigts of the scale. It's an old scale.

I have to dress after. She only take my blood pressure.

That's the type of scale they use at my doctors, the old mechanical types are still seen as the most accurate. It's great being stripped down to my boxers and standing on the scales while they lean over you to move the weights about to get the measurement (and then turning round to lean against the wall while they check your height!).

Growing up I was weighed nude through high school. After my name being called I was led into the exam room and asked to get completely undressed. Then led back into the hallway to be weighed and measured.

I am the boring weigh ,they either have me drive onto the scale and whatever it reads they subtract 525 pounds and that's my weight ,but considering both those scales are wrong and nobodies fixed them ,i can go to the hospital ,they use what's called a Hoyer lift " human crane" that they pick me up and put me in a bed that weighs you well your in it . I weigh around 120 pouds.

I usually have my shirt off ( in undershirt) and pants off as well ( plus shoes obviously). The nurse does that then takes my BP and after that I’m told to take the undershirt off ( I guess they do it that way to make the undressing easy and fluid after the preliminaries)

I don’t really get this, but for a routine exam the nurse will weigh me with everything on, including shoes an coat. It adds 5 to 10 pounds to my actual weight but I guess precision is not that big a deal more a general idea or the incremental info compared to last time (did I gain or loose weight)

I had my annual wellness visit yesterday. Stepped on the scale in the hallway on the way to exam room with an over weight aid. Still had on heavy winter coat and shoes. Followed by height measurement in shoes. Kind of pointless. If they are checking for spinal compression in the past year a change in footwear could be much greater. As over weight as their average patient is these days close is probably good enough, just looking for trends.
