Hi Kris. I just started going to Back in Action Chiropractic. They are located at 819 New Churchmans Rd, New Castle DE phone 302 322 3304. Dr. Chandler and Dr. Kifer. It is right across the street from TD Bank. I am going for a pinched nerve down my arm and for my neck. They are really good and very friendly. Hope it helps. Rose

Thanks for the reply! If you don't mind, could you tell me where you had your surgery done and which doctor? Also, with all the things that need to be done, where is the best place to start? Do I go for a consult with the WLS doc first, then any tests, psych visits, etc. that are also necessary?
I'm a little scared of it all - a little bit b/c of the risks of surgery, but more scared of ME. I know I pretty much won't have a choice, but CAN I stop eating? Do or did you seek any psychiatric counseling, etc. for the mental part of obesity?
What was your recovery time like? I have a 1 year old and would have to arrange for help during and after surgery.

So Kenn,
Give us an update!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you feeling? How did the surgery go? So DPCI will do plastics??? YEA I am so glad to hear that because most likely being a single mom and in school full time I will still be on the insurance when I am ready for plastics. What did DPCI require in order to cover the surgery? I heard unless the excess skin is causing odor or irritations they won't cover but then again I hear of them covering it more and more these days.
I am considered a "light weight" but trust me I have HORRIBLE skin issues even now because of 4 c-sections and the constant loose/gain of weight over the years. My arms look like bats not to mention my JELLO stomach ugh.....
So give us an update !!!!!!!!!!!

POI I had the gastric bypass (RNY). DPCI is awesome, I had my clearances done in 3.5 wks and surgery two weeks after it was SIMPLE....but they do require you to loose 2% of your weight and that's it and for me that was 5lbs LOL I say go for it while you have the insurance to do so. I had ZERO complications, I do not dump, I have no pain I had NO issues...I am 6wks out and down 26 total (20 lbs since surgery)

Thank you, readytobeme2010! I am taking a 2nd look into WLS now that I have DPCI - my old insurance didn't cover it. What type of WLS did you have?
