{{/* 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. Wow, im planning to get my Band in 2011 January and this just scared me to death. are there any statistics on how many years after you get the band that theres a possiability of band erosion
  2. Thank you so much for responding to my thread. Well im a 30 year old female been pretty much overweight my whole life tried everything and anything to lose weight never could keep it off I turned 30 and i said you know what i want to make my 30's my new 20s and i really hope that i can change my life with this surgery. I know that this is a lifestyle change and shouldnt be considered if you just want to fit into a dress . Whats it like after being banded ? Can you eat normal like you did before ? Just having to cut the portion size ? I know that there has been posts that it just depends on each person and that its different ? Umm i guess i should start off with how much can you lose every month ? I am at my heaviest right now which is 260 ;/ and really want to reach atleast 170 or 160 by summer 2011
