Hi There Ready2B, It is a bit of a pain that everyone comments on how good you look since loosing the weight. I always wondered what the heck did you think of me before. Having said that, take it with a grain of salt and enjoy the non scale victories, for example, going upstairs and not being out of breath, having more energy, walking further cause it doesn't hurt so much, having underwear that doesn't crawl up ( you know where), wearing a bra without back fat. We will never change those that comment on matters of the waistline, but we can respond and not react. By this I mean, the only thing we can do is choosing our response and remembering that our spirit is more important than our size. Be in touch with how you feel and let the comments flow over you and move on to being who you want to be. For those who are constantly talking about your weight, well perhaps you need a rest from them for awhile if their contact is not healthy for you. With the band the likelihood of regaining is very slim, no pun intended, so this time will be different! Go grab life by the ______ ( you fill in the blank) Sincerely, Diva2the band

Tom, I would like to join. I am in the High Park area in Toronto.

PS: if you input TLBC in google it defaults to Slimband. If you input TLBC.ca it defaults to the Slimband site with current information and posts with the tag line copyright TLBC 2012. IF this is truly the case then why are we being told that TLBC closed Nov 2008?

Hi There, I am one of those TLBC/Slimand patients left in the lurch. Are you? When TLBC became Slimband we were told that Slimband assumed the contracts and that care would continue as per the contract that we signed, specifically care for life. I think that there is a breach in contract and that we can prove that we have been getting care from Slimband under the terms and conditions of our TLBC contracts up until the OMA began it's investigation of Dr. Lau and his medical practices. When I signed the agreement it was with the clinic and not with Dr. Lau, so when the contract was assumed by Slimband, it should have been with the clinic not with a specific doctor. Please reply and let's get this going!

Hi There, Were you banded at TLBC and being hassled by Slimband and being refused care? I am in Toronto and would be interested in joining a support group.

II want to seek legal action. Is there a class action started? If you go to TLBC.ca it defaults to Slimband and has current information there. I was told that TLBC became Slimband and the contracts were assumed by Slimband. In law when the contract is assumed, all terms and conditions remain the same. I am in contract with the company and not under the condition that Dr. Lau remained. The contract that I signed with TLBC May 2008, was assumed by Slimband in Nov 2008 so I was told and they also continued to provide care as per the contract of May 2008 including repositioning surgery in Jan 2014. So I think that they may be in breach. The only way to take them on is by a class action. I am in and want to know where to sign up!
