Hey glad surgery went well, I wasn’t in pain just discomfort I was able to get back to normal life after a few weeks. I heal very slowly as I’m diabetic type 2 my left side is still tender but I’m trying to push through it with ab workouts. Dr Hong is fantastic 😊

I saw Dr Dennis Hong at St.Joes in Hamilton I was referred by my doctor! Right after surgery they gave me ginger ale to sip and it went right down no issues. After the week of healing I had a steak dinner and it was amazing. Nothing getting stuck and no vomiting it was so nice! I have been a year now without the band and feel great haven’t gained weight at all😊

I have no idea! I had/have problems with my slimband and I wanted to contact my slimband clinic here in Toronto and learned they closed down because their malpractice! I started to do research about it and that's when I saw an article about butchered slimbands and this Women's College Hospital's doctor who removes slimbands! I will send you this website to read the article: https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2018/01/12/gastric-band-bleeding-pain-cbc-marketplace/. It doesn't say anything about charging money, but I am just wondering if somebody would be in a life threatening situation and would have no money for the surgery than they would let that person to die?! I see so many people here with slimband problems and will be more and more in the future and somehow I do not see how we would get any help from anywhere!

I had problems from the beginning only had 3 fills and couldn’t eat years after until I got it out in Hamilton at St.Joes best thing I did was get it out!

I would love to be apart of a class action suit on this company! I had my surgery and puked my brains out for 5 years until I saw the W5 report and realized I wasn’t the only one! Even after they closed I still was obligated to pay because I financed that horrible surgery and when all said and done I paid almost $30,000. 😡 I finally got the band removed and was so happy to drink a bottle of Water without getting sick. So please if anyone has started the process please contact me I’m in 100%
