{{/* BP structured-data corrections, 2026-08-04. buildMetaTags() runs in Dispatcher\Front before the head renders, and includeJS serialises Output::i()->jsonLd at the end of body, so mutating the array here is what actually ships. This replaces what were core edits in system/Output/Output.php and therefore survives Invision upgrades. */}} {{/* 1. Core builds potentialAction with 'type' rather than '@type', which leaves the sitelinks SearchAction node untyped. */}} {{/* 3. If an app already published a BreadcrumbList, core's own serialisation of the display breadcrumbs is a second, conflicting one. The surgeons geo pages render breadcrumbs narrowest-first by design, so core's came out reversed. */}} {{/* Canonical and Open Graph fallbacks. An empty jsonLd on a rendered front page means buildMetaTags() never ran, which is how Output::error() renders. Treating that as "do not add a canonical" fails safe: the worst case is a page without a canonical, which is where we started. */}} Skip to content

Post-op

Had my surgery on 9/22. Feeling a little better now. Still get this hard sensation when I lie flat or when burping. Kind of can get crazy when I think I'm going to have to have this thing in me forever. Start thinking I'm different compared to the rest of the world. Having a lot of problems with constipation even though I'm taking medicine for it. People keep telling me they can't believe they did surgery on me because I'm not that over-weight ( 5foot and 220 pounds to start). And as usua

Surgery Tomorrow

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Finally got the nerve up to tell some of my family members. They were better about it than I thought they would be. Ready to get started, just afraid something will go wrong with the surgery. I'm praying for the best.      

Starving

This is my 6th day of the pre-op diet. On 3 protein shakes a day and one meal. I'm pretty hungry most the time. I have been very faithful, but not really showing any weight loss. Was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or should I just give it more time? I'm realizing how much food is involved in your everyday life. Nothing happens without food being around. But have learned I don't have to eat every minute of everyday...:smile2: Still having doubt about the surgery. I think

Sabotoging myself

I have an appointment in two weeks. Still waiting on insurance to approve and it seems like I can't get enough to eat. I'm suppose to be losing weight prior to the surgery.
