That is fantastic . Please keep us updated . Thank you for your hard work. Hope to hear from you soon. I still have all my paper work if need be . This is exciting for sure .

Oh wow I sure hope you can find a lawyer to take on this case . Please keep updates coming as there are lots of anxious people waiting . Have a fabulous day and fingers crossed .

Count me in for a law suit . Fingers crossed we can all get better health and our money returned

So glad to hear you are getting it removed so soon . Best of luck

So glad to hear your process has begun. I know I feel much better with my slim band removed. It’s good to be nervous but everything will be fine . You’ve got this . Best of luck .

So glad you found a Dr that will remove the Slimband . Sorry you will have another cost to endure though . Hopefully one of the others will be covered by OHIP. Good luck . Let us know how it goes

It was put on by someone else I just posted it . That I don’t know you will have to ask. Make sure your Dr checks him out before you get anything done . Apparently he removes slim bands on a daily basis. Please do your homework as I don’t know this dr . Hope it all works out for you . Good luck

Did you see the reply that Women’s College Hospital , Toronto ,Dr David Urbach . You may want to research this out. Best of luck to you

Sorry to hear of another botched slim band placement . Take care of yourself . I got my band out in Dec 2019 after 5 years of having it in. I now have reflux most if not all of the time . I know compared to others this is minor but frustrating to me as it causes me to vomit most of the time after eating . Depending on the setting it is tough to take .

Hi Jen, well I wonder if it isn’t for them because of it being a medical procedure not performed in a hospital . With him closing the clinic getting files etc. It could be too with them being in Vancouver and this happening in Ontario you need lawyers familiar with interprovincial laws. Maybe we can all put our heads together and come up with plan B .

Hi Jenottawa, count me in . I too had to finance for this and it is disgusting that double dipping was allowed. Please keep me updated and let me know what I can do to be of help .

Hi there I too was taken in by slim band and like you all paid a fortune for nothing. I felt so stupid for getting the banding done and thought I was alone . Not that I wanted anyone else to feel this way but also glad to know I’m not alone . I just went in Dec to get this band removed because of the vomiting and when we removed all liquid it twisted and was causing discomfort . if there is a law suit I would absolutely love to join you in this . To know how much this man took from us and the money he made and is still allowed to practise medicine says a lot about our medical system. I know there were no guarantees but I lost no weight at all and when I would phone to get a fill request I was told I wasn’t following their guidelines it was always my fault not theirs . I saw a story done on either marketplace or W5 and lots of similar stories. I just would like my money back and to move on. Let me know if anything takes off and how I can help. By the way I did my homework before considering this procedure but all the reviews must have been from workers or paid for reviews as there were no bad reviews. Thanks for letting me rant
