Question:
I was wondering if anyone knew any good sites

to find information on insurance costs for pre-op complications(co-morbids) and post op complications. I am doing a research paper and I can't seem to find anything. Also if anyone knows a good place to get any WLS books because borders and barnes and noble didn't have any, that would be great to, I live in St Paul MN. 6/27/03 292/230    — horserider0146 (posted on September 22, 2003)

The following government health agencies have the kind of information you're looking for. I don't have the exact web addresses handy, but putting the agency name into a search engine should get you what you want: National Institutes of Health, Centers For Disease Control, ShapeUpAmerica, National Institutes for Digestive Disorders and Kidney Disease.

Check out the site by the Amercian Bariatric Surgeons Society. The link is http://www.asbs.org/html/rationale/rationale.html You'll find a LOT of statistics there on post op complications.
