29 min is a very god time for a first 5k. There will be lots of people slower than that. You won't have any problems.

Hi Mindy - I'm not at the same stage as you, or in the States, but good luck with the program. I'm 16 months post sleeve and life is good. Go for it.

I have since regained it all and more. :sad: It's very hard to look into the future facing what feels like a…

Hi, I'm Alison. I am going to have surgery at the end of November. The date and surgeon are fixed but I haven't decided whether to have a gastric plication or a sleeve yet. Having the surgery booked has been quite motivating as far as diet and excercise goes.
