Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 , While you are awaiting to be schedualed for an apt. with Dr. , check out this link: /files/duodenalswitch/Dr.+Welkers+list+of+ICD9+C odes It is a list of ICD9 codes, ie: co-morbidities. Have your Dr. go through them with you to see what all co-morbidities you may have that are on this list. They are all related to morbid obesity. Any and all co-morbidities that you have will help with the insurance. Having Sleep Apnea is one of the main ones that help to get this surgery. Good luck and I hope you get your apt. with Dr. soon.
