Quick question.

@TraceSPN   It probably will, but no one can say by how much until you step on the scale.  BIA scales send a small electric current through you.  The bandage changes the surface area on one foot.

 

If your scale gives you a really wacky number, you can edit it on your web dashboard.  Tap on your weight tile and you can edit any entry.  I use an iPhone.  I can delete an entry, but I can't find a way to edit one on the iOS app.
