Slimband - Cut Off

[bellacatgirl 4]

As you are all likely to know, there's been a lot a backlash about Slimband in the past week or so, especially since Yau resigned.

As a TLBCer, I've been told that I'm no longer being supported by Slimband nor are they going to provide treatment in the future, for fills, defills, etc. I was told that they were looking to refer us to another clinic.

I sent an email to Slimband to request more information about this and in the past they have always been prompt with their responses but I have yet to hear back from them. I'm sure there's a lot of people concerned about what's going on but I'm confident that TLBCer's and/or Yau's patients are not their priority anymore. In fact, they have said that we (TLBCer's/Yau's patients) are no longer their responsibility.

So now that our surgeon is gone and our money has been cashed, we are being left out in the cold.

I feel completely lost, confused and hopeless.

Find another doctor. There are many that will take other lap band patients after their surgery. Just call around your area and see who will take you.

I highly doubt they would leave you high and dry. In fact it is probably illegal here in Canada. I think things will work out. They are probably a little up-side-down at the moment and may be experiencing a high volume of concerns. Don't worry . When were you banded?

Also, If you are not seeing replies to your posts concerning Slimband, I wanted to let you know that I have seen very few people from Canada here. The few that I have seen are all Smart Shape clients (like myself).

Hello jennybean,

Thanks for letting me know.

If you know of another online forum that Canadians use, let me know.
