  1. Hi, I am looking for people who were banded with TLBC in Toronto (now Slimband) to see if they have been advised that they are no longer going to support us free of charge. I called their last week and I was told that they no longer can afford it financially and it is not fair to their new memebers to honor those old contracts. They honored them for a awhile but since Dec 2013 they can no longer and as patients we are no longer obligated to seek services(fill and defills) from them since we don't have any contractual obligation with them. I can't seem to find a contract that I would have signed with them, not even sure if I got one. Does anyone else have a copy of their contract? I can recall being told that I had lifetime support .I still have a lot of questions that I didn't get to ask when I called because I was frustrated and emotional about the situation but I plan to call back and get more answers. If anyone has a simular experience or has more answers I would like to hear from you. I'm not sure what I am goiing to do with this information, I am contemplating contacting a lawyer to see if they are obligated by the contract or what my options are but I am trying to reach out to others who may be facing this same situation. Hope to hear from someone. Tamara from Sudbury, Ontario
  2. Hi Deborah, There is a group of us that have been speaking about this issue via email. Once we connect through Bariatric Pal, its best that we all chat via personal email. Contact me at tboyd67.wftw@gmail.com and I can update you on some stuff and get you involved. Tamara
  3. Hi Slimbad, I am trying to gather a list of people who have been banded with TLBC just in case we need to contact each other and so we can share information we may gather along the way. Can you send me your name and contact information (email) to tboyd67.wftw@gmail.com. Also, just wondering, do you have in possession an actual written contract from them when you did your surgery, I don't and it seems others don't as well. I though I just misplaced it but I think it was just verbal. That worries me. Hope to hear from you. Tamara
  4. Hi Tasiapg, Thanks for the reply Tasiapg and Nerdine. I'm not sure where to start with this and if we even have any legal rights, I'm afraid of the fact that we don't have a legal contract, there is lots to look into. I think it would be good to connect via telephone and chat. Give me a call, 222-8848 (home) or 662-7255 (work). I am also in contact with someone else is Toronto who mentioned that she was starting legal action, I will contact her and let her know that I found more TLBC members. I think a letter from a lawyer to them asking for an explanation is a start. I have a friend who is a lawyer so I may set up an appointment. I didn't know Nancy left.
