    Hi everyone!
    I will have my band removed in Women's College Hospital in Toronto on June 25th.
    We should really work harder on trying to file a lawsuit against the clinic and/or the slimband company!

    I have no idea! I had/have problems with my slimband and I wanted to contact my slimband clinic here in Toronto and learned they closed down because their malpractice! I started to do research about it and that's when I saw an article about butchered slimbands and this Women's College Hospital's doctor who removes slimbands! I will send you this website to read the article: https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2018/01/12/gastric-band-bleeding-pain-cbc-marketplace/. It doesn't say anything about charging money, but I am just wondering if somebody would be in a life threatening situation and would have no money for the surgery than they would let that person to die?! I see so many people here with slimband problems and will be more and more in the future and somehow I do not see how we would get any help from anywhere!

    Hi everybody! I just heard that the best solution would be in our cases to file for a class-action lawsuit against Allergan Inc., the maker of the Lap-Band device.
