FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How safe is MyHotBod?
MyHotBod is extremely safe. There is no surgery involved unlike gastric bypass procedures and no dangerous drugs required like Fen-Phen.
Will MyHotBod affect nerve functioning?
No. The device is stalled in the stomach and the very light metal threads contact nerve endings there. There is no contact to the vagus nerve itself, which also affects the heart, hearing, and sexual function. If you do notice an adverse change in your body, please consult a physician to verify if MyHotBod is the root cause.
Is MyHotBod uncomfortable? Does it hurt?
MyHotBod is inserted through the mouth so there may be some pressure going in, but once it is inserted in the stomach, you won't feel a thing! Live your life!
How long can MyHotBod stay in?
MyHotBod can be used for 3 years, but will need to be cleaned every 6-9 months to avoid any blockage.
Do I need to take vitamins?
Since you will be eating less to control appetite, it is recommended that you use vitamin supplements with the MyHotBod system to avoid deficiencies. However, you should be trying to eat as healthful as possible, including fruits, vegetables, and grains. We have nutritionists that you can utilize for help!
How will I know that the battery is dead?
The Bluetooth will report MyHotBod's battery level and provide a warning to your computer or mobile device. If the battery life does becomes low, you will need to replace with a new MyHotBod device.
What if I don't lose weight? Or what if I lose too much weight?
If you do not lose weight, you can return the MyHotBod device within 30 days. If you lose too much weight, you can activate MyHotBod's timer more frequently through the online portal so your appetite will increase. If you still lose too much weight, the device should be removed and you should consult a medical professional for alternative treatments.
Can it break inside of me?
The material is flexible, so it should not break during or after insertion. If MyHotBod malfunctions for some reason, please seek medical attention.
Has anyone died from MyHotBod?
If inserted and used correctly with no tampering, no one will die using MyHotBod. However, a few users have abused the system and hacked its functionality so it suppresses appetite non-stop or turn on before the stomach has reached the minimum capacity of 10 ounces. Starvation is DANGEROUS and can cause heart problems, malnutrition, and death!
