just a question, I was banded at TLBC by Dr Yau, I remember seeing in the broachure another Dr's name mentioned. I have never heard of him with all my dealing with TLBC and just wondered who he was? Has anyone else see his name mentioned, sorry I've forgot his name.

you mean dr joffe? If yes, then he doesnt work there anymore, they probably haven't updated their brochures.

Yes, that was the guy! How come he doesn't work there anymore? does anyone no, I'm just being nosey. Has anyone had this Dr band them?

Hi: Dr. Joffe and Dr. Yau pioneered the band in Canada. Dr. Joffee has now left the clinic. He banded many idividuals who I am sure would give testimonials as to his work. If you are recently banded by Dr. Yau you know how good he is. Have you seen the nutrionist yet. She is very knowledgeable. Doddie

if you search the forum there was a topic about him, its no big deal its not like he left and established another clinic, i think he was either tired of doing it or retired or something of the nature.

Actually if you visit the following site Doctor Search Main Page

and then do an advance search by name and click on the name. Once displayed, click on current referrals. Explanation is there.

Yikes! n Anyone we know?

For what it is worth, Dr. Joffe was one of the founding members of he clinic but has since left to return to private practice for reasons of his own. What is posted on the website of the College of P & S does not mean those were his reasons for leaving. He is one excellent surgeon but the fact of the matter is Dr. Yau is the one that will be doing your sugery so I would think it is irrelevent why Dr. Joffe left. Dr. Yau trained my fill surgeon and did my surgery. He is one very skilled man. Doddie

and Dr. Yau is adorable.

Are we not supposed to drink carbonated drinks??

carbonated drinks are not recommended by my clinic but some people drink them some do not. I do not. Various reasons are given. One given to me was "think of a bottle of pop, shake it and watch it explode". Although I don't really believe that happens, it was visual enough that I haven't touched a pop since. LOL
