How are you weighed during physicals?

I have always been weighed fully clothed

The nurse always weighs me before taking me to an exam room, both at my GP and OB-GYN. I am fully clothed with the option of leaving my shoes on or taking them off. I always take them off, especially since my GP checkup is during the fall close to the beginning of winter and my OB-GYN checkup is at the end of winter, when I'm still going to have on heavier boots or shoes. Every couple of pounds counts!

I was weighed in different ways at different times.

At my pediatrician's office, he had scales in each exam room. First thing,the nurse would say "everything off except for your underwear then step on the scale to get weighed." Then she would have my stand with my back against the wall to check my height. Sometimes, I would have this older nurse which always checked my weight and height naked.

So when I turned 11 or 12 until 16, most nurse's would give me some privacy to I undress to my underwear. Not this older nurse, who waited in the room until I was naked. I remember as she checked my height, my back was against the wall attempting to cover my penis and balls with my hands. I was facing my mom and sister sitting across the room. She said was arms at your sides then, "it's not the first time we've (my mom and sister) seen a penis or you naked".

I've been going to my new doctor starting in college. Now, I'm weighed in the hallway just outside the exam rooms and bathroom fully clothed. The only times it changes, either during winter or if I need to give a urine sample. Those times, I get to take my jacket, shoes off then weighted and take to the exam room.

At the doctors offices I go to they use digital scales but we don't have to strip down all of our clothes but they do ask us to take our shoes off, the nurse weighs the patients

Is there any way we can correct the spelling of phisycal? It's driving me nuts!

Liquid, I fixed it for you, lol.

Thank you oh thank you Mashie! You don't know what a curse it is to have had an English teacher for a mom!

Fully dressed on the way into the exam room.. A standard scale and I swear the nurse plays with the weights as long as she can just to make me uncomfortable.

The scale at my doctor's office is in the hallway so I'm fully clothed usually with my shoes still on unless they tell me to remove them. I wouldn't mind being weighed in the nude or just my briefs.

Just took shoes off and stepped on scales

Always fully dressed. I take my shoes off before I step on the scale, and the nurse tends to get annoyed having to wait for me to do so.

Almost always it's in the hallway on the way to the exam room, shoes off but clothes on. Not the most accurate, but it's not like they're going to tell me I should gain weight...

I've always been clothing, shoes optional. Even my latest quick follow ups for blood pressure meds.

However, when i went for my 1st physical with my new primary doc 8 months ago, especially since she has no nurse doing preliminaries, i was weighed in a gown with my jockstrap on underneath.

As a patient, in particular in my childhood, I used to be weighed and mesured by the doctor at the beginning of the exam, nude or wearing only pants or t-shirt. I do more or less the same with my female patients as a doctor.

Always in a gown in the room.

Lately it has always been in a separate room than the exam room. After I get called back my a nurse I get taken too this small room where they do vitals. They take weight and temperature completely clothed.

In my street clothes. It's the last thing the nurse does before asking me to get undressed and put on the gown.

As a child I was weighed either nude or underpants on. Mostly nude at the beginning of the exam.

Usually in my boxer shorts or fully clothed but barefooted

Fully clothed with only shoes off.

I am weighted before I enter the exam room. With one of the nurses.

How I am weighed actually depends on why I am there.

If I am in for my yearly physical, it is undressed to underpants and then a gown, then I am weighed by the nurse before the doctors comes in.

If I am there for a follow up or sick call, it is "Shoes off, heavy objects out of my pockets," but otherwise clothed. My doctor weighs me every-time so he can tell me I am overweight. Seems to be the only thing he remembered from medical school.

He expects us to live and die by those BMI charts and doesn't want to hear any big boned BS.

Once during a follow up visit, I was told i gained weight. I joked that I was wearing lead pants. He said, "Nice try." I wonder what I would have done if instead he joked for me to take them off?

Where I go-I am asked to remove all clothing for my natural body weight(I think the nurse just likes to see me nude.)

I tend to be stripped to the waist but trousers remain on until the actual exam.

In North Carolina? Not likely.

Sooooooooo subtle !!.

Normally a nurse will do it in the corridor before my exam. Clothes on, shoes and coat off

With underspants

I'm in a paper exam gown with nothing on under it.

I am always weighed before I am taken into the exam room. I am always fully clothed with shoes on.
