So I won the lawsuit against SLIMBAND IN TORONTO how do i collect

  • Popular Post

So to make a very long story short, I paid 16,000 dollars to the SLIMMBAND CLINIC IN TORONTO, TO INSERT BY LAPOROROCOPY AND GENERAL ANESTHETIC A DEVICE WHICH WAS TO CONTROL MY APPETITE AND HELP ME TO LOSE AND MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT, FOR MY HEALTH.

I was blind sighted, I should have done my homework, this very clinic and doctor had jumped ship on hundreds of other innocent unsuspecting, patients. I went through the courts and won the case against the clinic, big deal they shut their doors one week prior to my court date.

My only hope is to tell anyone who even thinks about this way of life in the Toronto area be certain it is not the same owner, nor the same doctor that took my money and left me with a nonfunctioning piece of silicone band in my abdomen. Three surgeries later and many heart aches and physical discomfort I had the monster removed.DO NOT BE FOOLED THEY HIRE SKINNY PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU THEY HAD THE SAME SURGERY. I HAVE ASLO BEEN IN CONTACT WITH PATIENTS THAT ENDED UP WITH SEVERE INFECTIONS AND MANY COMPLICATIONS.

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!

Wishing you a safe surgery! Best of luck!

I am going to contact directly Ontario College Lawyer Member to find out exact lawyer who is specialized for healthcare that able take file a lawsuit against slimband and maker of the lapband.

Thank you so much! My band is infected since this year mid January, but couldn't get any care because of covid19! Finally, I will have my surgery and will be covered by Ohip! Also thank you to look into the lawsuit and please inform me about the lawyer's respond! Good luck with everything! :)
