{{/* 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

  1. I have lost from 229 to 163lbs. and can't seem to lose anymore weight. When I went in Jan the doctor said it was too tight and that my pouch was a little dilated and he removed 1/2 cc of fluid. I am due to go back in a few weeks for a recheck with a different doctor(insurance changed). Any suggestions to increase weight loss?
  2. I was banded in Jan 08. Down from 229lbs. to 163lbs. but I can't seem to lose anymore weight. I would like to weigh 140lbs. Last time I went to the doctor in Jan he said my pouch was a little dilated and he took some fluid out. Due to go back in a few weeks. Having to change doctors due to insurance. Any suggestions to promote more weight loss?
