What about this?

*---------- begin example ---------------
sysuse auto, clear
statsby _b _se e(df_r), by(rep78) : ///
    regress mpg [iw = weight]

rename _b_cons mean
rename _se_cons se
rename  _eq2_stat_1 df

gen lb = mean - invttail(df,0.025)*se
gen ub = mean + invttail(df,0.025)*se
*------------- end example --------------

Hope this helps,
Maarten
