I have recently learned about Slimband's absolute abandonment of the previous TLBC patients. I did reach out to Dr.Yau and he spoke to me personally on the phone. He requested a doctor's referral letter so I could have an appointment with him. I recently have experienced a sudden loss of restriction with my band, (which previously has worked fantastically for almost 7 years). I have no pain, no vomitting but very little restriction...I can eat almost as much as I used to eat. The fact is, I need the band to provide that STOP! If I could do this on my own, I would have and saved myself surgery, lots of money, and effort. I am confident Dr.Yau will be able to get to the bottom of it. He was quite helpful and did not at any point suggest that he would not treat me. He was very professional and reasonable. My appointment is next week and I will provide an update of what happens. In the meantime, I'm waiting to see how my appointment goes before I contact the college of physicians or join the others in investigating legal options. At the end of the day, Slimband took over the TLBC patients and should be held accountable, I am not sure how Dr. Yau fits into all of this because my contract is with TLBC. We shall see, fingers crossed!
