This replaces what were core edits in system/Output/Output.php and therefore survives Invision upgrades. */}} {{/* 1.

An empty jsonLd on a rendered front page means buildMetaTags() never ran, which is how Output::error() renders.

  1. I just recently had my lap band surgery (June 2nd) and I'm getting a lot of diarrhea. Sometimes it seems like it's just all Water. Is this common?:tongue_smilie: - Thanks.
  2. Thanks. I'll do that.
  3. I think I caught a cold after my surgery. My doctor said that it could be related to the breathing tube I had during surgery. I think its turned into a chest cold and when I lay down, I am wheezing. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks.
  4. Thanks for the reply. I had surgery 5 days ago. Did you also have a difficult time with breathing? Hurts a little to take a breath.
  5. How long does it take for stomach pain to go away after surgery? Thanks.
  6. Just had lap band surgery about 5 days ago and I've been following all of the after-surgery recommendations by my surgeon. However, I'm a little concerned because I'm experiencing a gurgling sound when I breathe. Is that normal? Thanks.
