{{/* 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

  6. Medifast

    FtWorthJim replied to Chellz423's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    My Dr. had me on Optifast. Was OK the first 2 weeks..then it started to taste like milk that was spoiling. Had a hard time getting through 5 a day for the last few days. I think I drank 2 the day before surgery. Was challenging to say the least.

  7. Stitches or Glued???

    FtWorthJim replied to GraciesMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Dr. Kin uses internal dissolving stitches and glue externally. Seems to be healing well for me.
