Long story short, I'd like to know if anyone has heard of a class action lawsuit that has been started? If you haven't but would like to be, I would like to start a petition of sorts so I can get a ballpark of numbers to give the lawyer. There is a good lawyer in London Ontario that I have contacted previously, but unless there are numbers, there's no point.
In Oct 2013 I had the band placed in a rush of fury by their lies and pressure tactics. After 6 months of not being able to drink Water without it coming back up, they finally agreed to remove it. Shortly after the removal I found out I was pregnant (not expected I could even get pregnant because of the malnutrition), but because I couldn't keep any nutrients down before and after removal, the baby never stood a chance. I had to have a emergency dilation of my esophagus twice and still can't have thick liquids without it coming up. I also just applied to have correct weight loss surgery, and was denied because they won't touch patients that have previously had a band. Now I've reached my limit and reading all of these other horror stories, something needs to be done.
Signing on the dotted line in this case is bullshit. The clinic was shut down it was so bad, so clearly these signatures should be null and void too.
I am not asking for extensive information, but if you would like to see how far this could go, please just leave your name and year Slimband screwed you over./
Much thanks, and power to us people

I also would like too be apart of this. There’s no eating pea sized cut meat and chewing it forever and it actually going down. I lost 160lbs by vomiting up pretty much everything. My Iron levels are non existent, my hair is falling out and I’m just plain weak. 340lbs felt like heaven compared too the hell I deal with now on times. Then the company all but disappeared. They called a couple times after the surgery and that was it. You tell them there’s something not right, chew more. I can’t hardly get Water down.
