[QUOTE="jayney27, post: 1755392, member: 455431"] With that amount of weight lost it should have been visible to the nurse. I appreciate that your husband is one of many people she has seen but as I said the amount of weight your husband has lost shouldn’t have gone un noticed by her. When I went for my first check up following diagnosis my nurse commented on my smaller size as I was walking through the door, as we got to the part where she wanted to discuss diet and weight her comment was, “ i don’t need to weigh you, I can see you’ve lost weight but we will pop you on the scale so we can record it” I would be tempted to take my own scales with me next time, ask the nurse what her weight is and then ask her to step on both scales, see how willing she is to do that, she might then accept your husbands new lower weight and update her records and apologise to him.
