Dr Yau is still seeing his patients. I got a referral sent to his office in Scarborough and have had an appointment with him.

How did your appointment go? Did he honour the TLBC contract?

Thank you for reaching out. I have reached out to a class action firm but also waiting to hear from others on here that I believe are further along.

Would like to join and would like to explore all options including contacting the college of physicians. I am no legal expert so not sure if we have a case or not. Please post any updates. Thanks.

If you were banded under TLBC (now Slimband) you might have heard that we are no longer getting the life long support system we signed up for. In fact, we now have to pay for any sort of support (fills, defills, access to a nutritionist) we might need, except for defills.

Myself and several other (8) are looking for other TLBCer's who are upset by this situation.

Please email me ASAP with your story, questions or concerns.

Hi Kat, I'm not sure how to email you...I am interested in taking action against Slimband. Please let me know how to reach you. Thanks.

I too will be making a complaint to the College of Physicians about Dr. Yau's practices. I also am talking with a lawyer who is interested in pursuing a class action but needs to hear from more people in the same situation - from the TLBC/Dr. Yau and no longer treating his patients now that it is slimband. If you are interested please respond.

I have recently learned about Slimband's absolute abandonment of the previous TLBC patients. I did reach out to Dr.Yau and he spoke to me personally on the phone. He requested a doctor's referral letter so I could have an appointment with him. I recently have experienced a sudden loss of restriction with my band, (which previously has worked fantastically for almost 7 years). I have no pain, no vomitting but very little restriction...I can eat almost as much as I used to eat. The fact is, I need the band to provide that STOP! If I could do this on my own, I would have and saved myself surgery, lots of money, and effort. I am confident Dr.Yau will be able to get to the bottom of it. He was quite helpful and did not at any point suggest that he would not treat me. He was very professional and reasonable. My appointment is next week and I will provide an update of what happens. In the meantime, I'm waiting to see how my appointment goes before I contact the college of physicians or join the others in investigating legal options. At the end of the day, Slimband took over the TLBC patients and should be held accountable, I am not sure how Dr. Yau fits into all of this because my contract is with TLBC. We shall see, fingers crossed!
