This all helps guys. Although the slide bar scales are not as accurate as the digital, I will have to go with the flow. Thanks for the info. on talking to the Airline, I didn\'t think of that and that is exactly what I'm worried about. Getting shoved and pushed around the airport and getting on the plane. Its also a long walk to the terminal. My mind is racing 1000 miles a minute anticipating my surgery next week. I really am excited.

Springbatch if your worried about the plane trip home you need to do what my husband did he informed the boarding ladies that i had just had surg. the day before and they let me and my husband get on the plane 1st and get seated that way knowone ran into me and they also had a wheel chair waiting for me once we landed ( even though i ended up giving to to a young girl with cancer who was in more pain than me)..Hope this helps.
At your consultation,we do measure your height and weight (but it is not a digital scale). We also check your vital signs and perform a vaginal ultrasound to assess your uterus and ovaries. We will review your pre and post-operative instructions, and you will then meet with Dr. Berger and the anesthesiologist. Please let me know if you have any other questions and we are looking forward to meeting you next week!

Im hearing that give a numbing medicine before they put the IV in? I'm worrying about the trip back on the plane. Im worried about the type of scale they weigh you on. Im hoping its digital. Also, im bringing my husband and my daughter (they are both post-surgical LPN's ) and I have to split them up for appointments. One for the consult and one for the surgery. I wish they could both be there.
