[quote=Anonymous]Nutritional consults are done frequently in the hospital for a variety of reasons. I am not sure why one wouldn't want to benefit from expertise offered to them from someone who specializes in the field. Your daughter is carrying an excess 100 pounds of fat on her body - that is a health issue. It is great she is working on it on her own but why wouldn't you want additional support. Her weight is not her identity, she isn't defined by her weight. Doctors addressing her weight are not personally attacking her, they are addressing a health concern. Saying soft obese belly is just clinical language of an abdominal assessment. To say it was soft is a good finding, obese indicates the excess fat present on assessment. They are just describing their physical assessment. [/quote]
