Daily weight

My husband will be coming home from the hospital next week, he received his VAD in May, had a rough time both prep &postop.

I've been told he needs to weigh every day. The digital scale warns against using it if you have "any implanted medical devices such as a pacemaker". He has no pacemaker or defibrillator, but can he use it with the LVAD? No response from the cust. Service dept at manufacturer.

What type scale do most of patients use?

Thanks, all!
