Hi Tiffiny it would be greatly appreciated if when you get the name of the injection the dr is giving you for your leg to pass the name of it onto me. i did not have knee problems when i was heavier, strangely enough it is coming out now! must be the old age on my side

Thanks, Felicia, and everyone, for responding to this. I've also been disturbed and concerned the past couple days seeing people talk about how they 'fell off' the 'pouch test.' I know that's a place I never want to go again. I will also say in all honesty that I am NOT on a diet. I am determined that that part of my life is behind me. I can eat anything I choose. I am very aware of what I put into my body now and most of the time I choose to eat foods that are good for me. WLS allowed me to regain control of my body and to gain control, for the first time in my life, of how my mind deals with the whole weight loss and diet thing. The pay-offs are amazing...one of the big ones is simply being able to enjoy life and all it has to offer. Diet, by any name, doesn't fit in with my new life. Lisa
