Is a site that is associated with lap banding therefore, is very 'pro surgery' (not that there's anything wrong with that) however, if you're looking for something non surgical, this is not really the place.

Where I purchased my scales from.  Her (my sclaes) name is BB (inside joke!).  They also have a number of other scales that they sell.  They offer a prompt service and value for money products.  These scales go up to 250kg.  They also sell some that go up to 300kg and you can find those ones here http://www.medshop.com.au/professional-scale-300kg-capacity-charder-scales-ms-3200.html
