Sorry for being snarky I just feel lost.

I have been mislead and lied to so many times and I have found others who have dealt with the same as me. I should not have to fight for everything TLBC has promised me! I didnt say I was going to go with a lawyer..I said I wished I had one in my back pocket...totally different than how you make it out. I had the highest hopes of good service (especially with the amount of money I dropped) and I just keep getting let down. And as for complaining..I think it should be known to others who come on here to research this company to find out what they could be in for. I am a business owner and I would never treat my paying customers this way. I needed to vent and I'm not the only one on here who has done so.

oh I was promised a fill person by Dorothy Kathy and Belina.
-
Jane have you ever hit a brick wall before when dealing with people and you seem to get no where??? I have made several calls and e-mails and I'm not getting anywhere..SOOOOOO I thought maybe since this is a support website maybe just maybe someone else might have a better idea than what I have been trying. Thanks to Doddie she did give me several ideas. Guess you didnt read that part eh?
-
Thank you Doddie..that gives me some hope..I do have a e-mail from them saying they will send me a fill person if none is available to me...which they later recanted and said no.

I JUST WANT TO SCREAM!!!! TLBC has done nothing but lie to me the whole time I have dealt with them! They told me they had a fill dr in Sudbury then After I got my surgery they said they are in the process of training one ...NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY DONT HAVE ONE PERIOD! I could have saved 8hrs of travel if they did. They have mislead me and lied in SO many ways. I wish I had a lawyer in my back pocket.. I cant afford a $600 plane ticket evertime I need a fill. I just want to cry right now.
-
They promised me a gift certificate for god knows where...for all the trouble they put me through for trying to cancel my first fill. So when I got to my fill appt they didnt have it on them and that they will send it to me....I bet it never shows up!
-
they gave me the same B-S story about how after my first fill I can go to Sudbury which is so much closer than Toronto. After I paid them the money and had the surgery NOW they are telling me that they are in the process of training someone in Sudbury...but they wouldnt give the name to investigate it myself...hmmmm. I wonder if this should be taken to the better buisness bureau??

I AM SO MAD!!!! I was supposed to go in for my first fill on Monday (15th)and I just get a call today saying (like its not a big deal) that my appointment has been moved to the Wednesday! Its a big deal to me..I had to book time off and reschedule clients from my business so I could go...I had already booked my hotels rooms and all TLBC gives me is 4 days notice!!! ALL BECAUSE they are shooting a commercial at TLBC!! I pitched the biggest fit and I think I scared the woman because she put me on hold then told me that I can still go in Monday! I will NEVER recommend TLBC to anyone..I have put up with to much crap from them..they need to start treating people better than this. Sorry I had to vent!
-
I'm really dissapointed with TLBC. I had Dorothy who was my consultant and I found her kinda frustrating to deal with. Then I later found out she was no longer working there. They wouldnt tell me why she was gone either. Its kinda suspicious that Jill is no longer there as well. TLBC made a bunch of promises to me and then tried to recant on them. they also told me they HAVE a fill nurse in Sudbury closer to me than Toronto so I asked for the name and info about who and where they are and now I'm being told they dont have one established yet !! So they lied to me again and I am scared as hell about my future dealings with them. If I would have known about all this B.S I would have looked into the Mississauga clinic instead

OMG I cant believe something so small as an identical signatures would actually pose a problem to someone and to e-mail them to remove it!! Canadiangirl...copy mine anytime as well!! -
I never heard anything bad from the nurses about my liver they said the surgery went perfect so i guess no news is good news! I just started today on full fluids like cream soups WOO HOO! Although I had a meal replacement shake this morning and I'm still so full that i skipped lunch. I'm feeling a lot better but my port area is SO painful. Everytime I move ..but its getting better. I have already lost 6.5 lbs in one week. I hope this continues to go that fast. So how are your nerves?

:mad::frown: I'm So glad you are doing better!!! I cannot wait for the cream soups!!! I'm just going nuts with the damn clear fluids LOL!!!! One problem that i have is my port area is so sore!!! It feels like I have a knife in my stomach everytime I move! Mornings are horrible...I have drained my daughters Childrens Tylenol bottles :thumbup:. TLBC only gave me a prescription for Demerol which doesnt even take the pain away..it just makes you sleep!! Its great for someone who doesnt have a life and has no children!!. I was scared the other night when i developed a 100.5 temperature! I was terrified that it was an infection but thanksfully just the flu! But I still feel wiped out.:w00t: :sad: -
I later found out that is not true!! I wish I would have shecked out Mississauga as well.I cant say much for the pre-op diet...I was really bad! They said I only had to do it for 3-5 days but I found it so hard to stick to it as I was driving down to Toronto. There isnt much for choices in fast food areas :s My fault I didnt try very hard either...but i was only 212 lbs and I figured my liver would be in so much better shape then someone who was 200lbs heavier than me and did the diet as well. I know I'm bad! lol PLEASE keep me updated as to how things go for you!
Take Care!!

I wish I would have checked out Mississauga as well. Nobody has even called me from the clinic to see how I am doing post op! Another lady I have been chatting with is dealing with the same b-s from them as I did. I didnt have a great feeling when I went into the clinic surgery day..but I just chalked it up to nerves. They also told me that I only have to get one fill (the very first one) from them then I can go to someone close by.But according to someone from Edmonton who got theres done they had to travel to toronto everytime they needed a fill because there was no one around there area but TLBC said there was!They even promised me that they would send one to me if I couldnt find one.... to be continued....

My instructions from Dr Yau is clear fluids from day 2-5 then on to cream soups and meal replacements then on to pureed food...I'm three days post surgery and I'm still having troubles with clear fluids. Maybe things are just to rushed for you? -

Thanks Lcubed! I did end up taking one gel cap and followed it with hot beef broth and no problems.I figured it would melt it..now I'm feeling a bit better!! I would be to worried to try it with a big round hard pill right now. I was desperate. -
