I've wondered the same thing! Can't wait to find out!

Check out the video on youtube that my partner made about my WLS journey!

It's a type of knee brace called a patellar tendon strap: Captain Sports Patellar Tendon Strap

Ummm...I think it's a headband for the calf so it doesn't get sweaty.

Ha, ha! They're supposed to help alleviate some sort of knee pain. However, I like Scott's idea as a sweat band! --Deanna :)

They never worked for me. Maybe worked for others but for me I view them as mojo snake oil.
