{{/* 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.

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

  5. Hi everyone I am Ava and i was recently banded on monday the 10th of july and right now i am on clear liquids. On the sheet they gave me at the hospital it showed i can have broth, apple juice diluted with water and crystal lite decaf tea or coffee, and sugar free popsicles. But i am starting to get hungry and its only sunday. I have an appointment on tuesday to get the staples out but i was wondering if anyone drank isopure clear drinks during this time. in now it has protein 40grams just wondering if it would be wise for me to get some today or not!!! thanks for any advice

  7. Hi everyone, I am in the process of getting my lapband. I am on my second month of dieting and seeing a nutritionist. My question for anyone is with bcbs highmark did they pay for your surgery completely,or did you have to come out of pocket? I know i need to pay for copayments, but just unsure of what the surgery would cost, thanks for any input! have a wonderful day!
