How are you weighed during physicals?

Not many people carry 8-10 enema kits with them at all times! 😄

Wha……

I thought everyone did.

Always weighed fully clothed, in shoes, on my way back to the exam room. I’ve never been weighed in the exam room.

My sub is asked to step on the scale everytime he goes in for a doctor visit (except for blood draws). Sometimes they ask him to remove his shoes, sometimes they don't. It just seems to depend on the nurse at that time.

In a Drs surgery or hospital setting I’ve been weighed stripped down to underwear or in a hospital gown. I’ve also been weighed fully clothed ( I’m convinced my clothes must weigh 3 stone )☺️

With my role play contacts it’s either stripped to underwear or completely naked.

Asked to remove anything I don’t want to count in the weight ie. Phone, keys, wallet etc. shoes off. I wear very light weight clothing so it’s a shirt, shorts and socks for the weight.

She only asks me about the number…

Seeing that the scale in most of my doctor's offices are right in the hallway, it is usually a quick on and off with whatever I am wearing. I inquired once about the inaccuracy of the actual weight and the tech said they were just looking for abnormal weight loss or gain. The actual numbers weren't necessarily important.

Without Shoes and in winter Hoodie. There is no scale in every examination room, so you walk sometimes trough the hallway in another room.

With previous doctors, it was always done without my jacket on. Now they have you step on the scale, dressed as you are.

Fully clothed without my shoes

I go to the doctor every 6 months to renew my medication.

I strip to underwear from the start of the examination to facilitate auscultation, and at the end she asks me to step on the scale (traditional needle scale) and she checks my weight and notes it in my medical file.

Tshir or Top and Underpants

My pediatrician had stadiometer. He always said me somethin like, take off everything except your underwear and stand with your back to the measurement. So I do it, I keep only bra and panties and waiting for measuring and weighting there.

Once he was typing something into a computer and I stood there half naked for about 3 minutes.

Although there was a scale in my new doctor's office, she just asked me what I weighed.

It depends of the doctors, sometimes in underwear, of fully clothed and even with shoes.

The doc asks me to strip to my underwear and runs his hand all over my body and uses a stethoscope on my chest and back

Back in the 1970's and 1980's you were asked to strip to your underwear and then the nurse or Dr. would check height and weight. After say mid 1990's and currently I do not even take my shoes off and the scale is generally in a hallway or even if it's in the exam room I do not have to remove anything. Kind of a shame really as I think most people would feel better in their underwear knowing the weight would be more accurate.

Recently NP/MD office has electronic scales in each room I come minimally dressed with sandals and keys wallet in a fanny pack, I kick off sandals so I weigh the least. Also I Weigh myself before I leave I tell the nurse my “guess”
