  1. 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.
  2. Is Dr. Yau not still running his private practice? Can we go to his office in Scarborough to get a fill?
  3. So I was banded by Dr. Yau at Scarborough Grace in 2003, was promised to be looked after for the rest of my life - we were, in fact looked after by TLBC actually - but then they started telling us to call his private office for appointments - but my last defill was from the centre. I have no idea where my paperwork is - I've been thinking about getting a total defill - I have the oldest Lap-Band - the 4 cc one and am just tired of the constant restriction - I've lost 110 lbs and am pretty happy where I'm at - and now if I have no service - I think I really want all the fill out to avoid any possible complications in the future - but I have no idea where or how to get this done! What to do? My email is jagosta@gmail.com - and am interested in participating in whatever is going forward with the older patients who are getting left behind - as we are now at risk with no one to look after us....
  4. Hi there - I just stumbled upon this website and thought I'd check it out. I'm from Toronto Canada :canada:and have been banded for almost 4 years. I've lost over 80 lbs but still have another 50+ to go...:help: I am a mom of 2 kidlets - an 8 year old boy and a 5 year old girl. I teach middle school music :music:and totally love singing. Maybe I just gotta be the "fat lady?" Hello to all and looking forward to meeting you all.
