    Have you tried recalibrating your scale? When I checked in for surgery last Wednesday, the hospital scale shows I weigh 6# less than my home scale. I noticed something similar at my last doctor appointment - their scale weighed me in at less than my home scale. One of the nurses told me to take the batteries out of my scale, wait a few seconds and then put them back in. She said she does that every week to recalibrate her scale. Of course this won't work if your scale doesn't have batteries :)

    If your band has slipped, that is way more important than 5 lbs on the scale. Mine slipped cutting off anything getting thru and caused my esphogus to be herniated. I had mine converted to a sleeve, but still have problems with the herniated part of my esophogus. Get that fixed ASAP even if you just have it taken out.
