bellacatgirl 4 Posted April 14, 2014 I have received unsettling news that I know will upset quite a few of you. Yau is back doing surgeries at Slimband but they are trying t keep it a secret. Since Dr. Yau resigned from his position at Slimband in February of this year, his patients (including those banded under TLBC) have been told that Slimband is no longer treating them because Yau no longer works there. I called Slimband Patient Support last week and asked the following: Is Dr. Yau still working at Slimband? – the answer was no. Does Dr. Yau still work, in any capacity, out of the Prince Arthur medical clinic? – the answer was no. Are Dr. Yau’s patients, including those banded under TLBC, being supported/treated by Slimband? – the answer was no because “Dr. Yau no longer works at Slimband.” The truth is, Yau performed at least one surgery at Slimband (Prince Arthur) on Monday April 7th 2014. This information was voluntarily given to me via staff members that currently work at Slimband. Be aware that Slimband will do anything to deny he is back working there, including taking his name off his parking spot. So why did he resign when he clearly still continues to work there? Well we can’t be sure but it very likely has to do with the fact that if Yau appeared not to be working at Slimband then they would be able to stop treating his patients, including those banded under TLBC who were guaranteed a lifelong support system without additional cost. We seriously need to do something about this. There is a lawsuit underway for those banded under TLBC because our agreement of a lifelong support system is not being honoured. If you are in this situation please email 2014takeaction@gmail.com. My worry is that other Slimband patients banded under Yau are also not being supported because “Yau no longer works at Slimband.” This is a lie because he is working there. You need to do whatever you can to make others aware of this. Slimband continues to lie and this type of unprofessionalism needs to stop before others sign-up with them only to be disappointed or put in danger as a result of being refused treatment in the future.

tasiapg 2 Posted April 14, 2014 I heard the same and called them to make an appointment with Dr. Yau and they said he wasn't with Slim Band and to call his office. I have been trying to call his office since mid February and have been getting the answering machine. So frustrated with this situation and their constant lying. The fellow who answered Slim Band's phone actually laughed when I asked about Dr. Yau and gave me very confusing information and he transferred me to someone else to speak to. She couldn't wait to get me off the phone. I hope that potential patients read this. I had originally met with Dr. Coburn and decided to go with TLBC because of the facility and its location. BIG MISTAKE!!!! They can't treat us like this! Slimband is not a pro patient clinic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarieMarie 346 Posted January 16, 2015 I cannot say anything negative about Slimband as I feel they saved my life and started me on this journey. most companies go bankrupt and reopen under a different name. Mostly because of a law suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
