{{/* 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

  1. Considering this procedure

    DeMarie replied to carrielee's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
    Kathleen congratulations on your surgery date! Since both of our surgeries were a couple of days ago I hope we both have a fast recovery! Overall my surgery went excellent, the only really big issue I had was back pain, they said it was from the gas that was used during surgery & was told walking would help. I ended up walking A LOT & thank goodness I did because I woke up this morning with no more back pain. Now Im just working on getting in fluids. How did your surgery go?

    I did a lot of research as well & decided on the DS Sadi since it has a better long term weight loss success rate than the Sleeve. My surgery is on May 5th, so I’m currently on day 8 of my preop. My BMI is currently at 40 since I have lost some weight! My insurance thankfully approved it. ? I’m getting nervous but excited.
