looking for people banded with TLBC (now Slimband) our contracts now null and void



Recommended Posts

I had to contact Dr. Yau to get information so I could get an MRI as my band is the original Lap Band from 2003. I was part of the original group of bandsters banded at Scarborough Grace that was supposed to be looked after at the clinic when it opened. Needless to say, we are no longer being looked after by the clinic. Dr. Yau gave me the info that I needed and stated he'd see me with a referral from my family doc. So I got one and will see him soon.

I have attempted emailing people with regard to what is happening with slimband /Dr. Yau. No one has responded! Is there really a class action suit against these people. I am in Buffalo , NY and desperately need a fill. I don't know if there are legal actions that can be taken but it seems a lot of people are having similar issues. Please if there is a lawsuit can someone tell me where to sign up? Thank you

My problem I was a patient Dec 10 2010.All went well lost weight then I felt that there was no restriction. The band was replaced in 2013 I met with Dr yau preop he scolded me and I over heard him talk the same way to several other patients, I was sent home ,the restriction was nil but I waited so I didn't bug them I did need fills at the Windsor office ,very upsetting to have to be continually told to eat smaller amt etc etc I did have success at one time so I knew what I was doing. Any how when I signed up the ad was for 5 years on the web, I am now sitting at the exact same weight, no doctor to talk to and each head nurse that I ever got close to on the phone no longer works there, Now what I am in on a class action if we get enough folks together count me in

Hi Marymo, I just found out myself that Slimband will no longer see me and I really need a fill. Were you able to get a contact number for Sabrina?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
