Rhea 1.
Well, where do I start... I'm 29 years old. I'm married to my sweet husband Marc for 11 years now and still going strong! We have two boy's Marc jr. (9 years) and Joseph (6 years). I'm a school bus driver for the district here in town. My husband is a truck driver. In 2004 I received my diploma from Western pacific truck school and for a period of time (year-and-a-half) my husband and I drove truck all around the states! His mom took care of our boys when we were on the road. You have to get some experience behind you before a local company will hire you. After we came off the road I decided to add some extra credentials to my license and become a school bus driver. I love my job! It works perfectly when you have children. I'm truly happy with my life; except for the fact that i've been struggling with my weight now for 10 plus years! I currenty weigh 225 lbs. My highest weight was 265 in jan '07. I lost 56lbs with weight watcher and got down to 209. Now here I sit at 225! So I've decided to have wls. I have reserched it riggerously and decided to start working on this goal to a much healthier life! I'm in a 6mo (required) weight managment program in order to get approval for surgery. My next appt. with the wmp is april 10th (I'll update then). I started in feb... so I'll be finished with that in july. Then, the surgeon says it will be a couple of months after that to get all the other stuff done before surgery can be done. I figure it will be around sep or oct ( we'll see )...
