I have discovered that those banded by TLBC (pre - Fall of 2008) are no longer receiving treatment from Slimband who took over the TLBC patients.

I signed up for a lifetime program of fills, defills & corrections if necessary but now I have been completely cut off of any and all support.

I am looking for any former staff (I spoke to one nurse) who were "let go/fired" by Slimband but can atest to the fact that TLBC did agree to a lifelong support system & that patients such as myself were not informed of any changes to our agreement when Slimband took over.

I hope to hear from someone soon.

Hi Anna:

Are we cut off or do they want us to pay for fills and defills?

My understanding is that we no longer receive free lifetime support which sucks but I do believe they will see you provided you pay them. I have an appointment with Dr Yau this month and I will address this issue with him to see what we can do (not holding my breath on this one). I know thre are a couple of threads on this issue and some members were looking at a legal solution. Search TLBC on this website and they will pop up. As for me, I had the gall to challenge Slimband on this on their website and now I'm completely cut off and can't even post. No loss for me because I think their website sucks but....

Anna, did you manage to get any information on this? My invoice shows that I am entitled to life long support and I certainly wasn't informed that it had been cut-off. I just started looking for information about getting my band removed and saw your post. Now, obviously, I am quite concerned. I was banded Feb 2008.

Anna - if you have this written on your invoice I would strongly urge you to send a message at 2014takeaction(at)gmail.com. They are trying to get us some answers and solutions.
