What brand of scales do you use and trust. I have a cheap set of bathroom scales now that I use but want to get a better pair before my surgery, but there are so many! Like body fat, hydration, BMI blah blah all kinds of info...just wondering what your experience is thanks in advance :)

Save your money.
What benefit will having a scale that can report minuscule changes?  or guess at the same information that you can calculate with ease? 
You're going to lose weight.  You will have stalls.  You will lose more weight.  Your BMI will go down.
Keep your old scale.  Weigh yourself once a week, at the same time of day, the same condition of undress, and after toileting.  Your doc's scale will report a different weight.  Who cares?
There's an old saying:  "A man with a watch always knows what time it is.  A man with two watches is never sure."

All scales are of the DEVIL!!! My clothes tell me how I'm doing and they are the method I use to gauge my gain or loss. I found out early on that weighing was just demoralizing - every pound/ounce was a triumph or failure but if you do what you're told, protein, fluids, vitamins, you will lose. You just can't miss.
