{{/* 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.

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. Help for my Mom

    realtorgirl posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    Hi! I'm new to your forum. I live in Houston, TX and I'm trying to learn about the lap band procedure for my Mother. She has battled with her weight for at least 20 years. She did Optifast and did really well and kept it off for 3 or 4 years. Then she had to have a knee surgery in 1993 and well you can imagine the rest. She really wants to do this and I want her to be successful. I just want to talk to real people who have had the surgery. I have been searching the internet for the best doctor for her. I don't know if Mexico or US would be better or what "fills" are. Any help would be appreciated. I am concerned for my Mom's health in the future if we don't do this surgery.
