jenottawa 6 Posted May 14, 2020 I don't think any elective surgeries are being booked right now as so many have been cancelled that they have a BIG backlog when they start up again... Also, no court cases are being held right now either. I have contacted a couple of lawyers and they never got back to me. Also, I was told not to go after Slimband but the maker OF the band as one went bankrupt and the other is still operating. 1 Falgune Dusara reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
