New to DE Board

Good Morning,

I am new to the DE message board.  I currently live in TX and have been active on that board.  We are Military and will be moving to the Dove AFB the 1st of November.  I had Gastric Bypass surgery in August of 07 and will need a new doctor when I get to the Dover area.  Was wondering if any of you have any thoughts?  I have had lots of problems since my gastrice with ulcers, and my stomach but have managed to take off almost 100 pounds.  So I will be looking for a doctor for scoping too.  Thanks in advance and I hope to meet some of you when we arrive there.   Michelle

Hi Michelle!
Delaware welcomes you!!
Great job on the weight loss! Way to go.  Sorry to hear you are having problems with your surgery.  We have a great group of doctors in New Castle that I believe will be able to handle your needs.
Dr. Peters, Dr. Wynn and Dr. Irgau
302-892-9900

Good Luck!
Judy

Thanks Judy for your reply.  I will be so glad to be out of Texas.  Just wi**** was sooner then November but thats the Military for you!  How far are these doctors from the base do you know?  Do you guys have regular support groups?  Thanks again for your reply!  Michelle

I agree with Judy.  These docs are wonderful and I think you would be happy with whomever you can get an appointment with.  If you just need a check up or want to get established with them, I suggest you call for an appointment several months in advance.

Good Luck,
Ellen

I would say the dr's office is about 45 min. from the base, maybe a few min. more.  This set of drs. are all about education, compliance and follow up.  I don't know if Dr. Wynn has a satellite office in Dover or not.  I thought I heard one of them did, or maybe it was in Smyrna (15 min. north of Dover)

Here's their website:  http://chrias.com/

We have a great support group in New Castle but I'm sure you'll find a good one in Dover if you don't want to drive too far.

Michelle, Welcome to the Delaware board. We hope to hear from you often.  Best of luck with your move. I hope everything goes well. You will find a support group list on the board every so often. Attend as many as you can. Personally myself I run a group in the Long Neck Area but I attend other groups. The group at Victory in New Castle is one of my favorite. See you lighter. Joanne

Hi Michelle,
Delaware welcomes you.  I agree with Judy,  Dr. Wynn, Peters and Irgau are amazing and they have offices right here in Dover. They are located in the Eden Hill Medical Center at 200 Banning Street, Suite 200 and the phone number is 302-892-9887.  Take care
