Hi all!

I'm Pancua and underwent the Lapband surgery in May of 2005. When I got on the table, I was 412 pounds. As of today, I weigh in at 216 pounds. My goal is 200 pounds so I am very excited to be so close to my goal.

I struggled quite a bit with my adjustments for the first 3 years mostly because of my loss of insurance due to a divorce. Once I was able to get my work to cover the adjustments however, I was able to get back on track. Since losing the weight, I have been able to get my knees healthy again so I was able to start running and fencing. A hobby I absolutely love!

At any rate, I am very happy to be here.
