Some facilities have scales capable of weighing the obese patient -- you may need to send them out. In the old days, doctors would seek out meat packing plants and the like, in order to weigh patients on equipment intended for cows and the like. Nowadays, this method is a quick ticket to a courtroom. If you're far from a high-load scale, you can consider reading up on your Archimedes and doing some fancy geometry. Go to a Jacuzzi (preferably a rectilinear one), and mark the water level. Immerse the patient and re-mark the water level. Calculate the volume of the water displaced, and multiply volume by weight per cubic foot of water.
