Hi there.. I can understand your situation.. but I suggest not to use any such belts.. as they are useless, won't help you in any weight loss.. they just heat that area and make it sweat.. and moreover chances of developing other skin issues like allergy, discoloration are more..some researchers say that chronic use of such things can cause cancer also.. please ask him to try usual way like diet control and workouts to reduce weight..there is no shortcut to weight loss..
