Oh yeah, one more question... - I've read a lot of posts from very successful people stating they consistently eat "under sleeve capacity".  Do you mean you don't eat more than say 2 oz?  Or do you just stop eati...

if you had a stress test and didn't pass.... - what happened afterward?  Did you have to have a catheterization?  How long did it take to get clearance after they determined you were ok?
