I have PCOS, but I don't know if its THE REASON i got approved for Lap RNY. PCOS does contribute to not being able to lose weight a traditional way but I don't know if its considered a comorb as its not caused because of obesity. <p> You should have PCOS listed when you submit to the insurance company along with any other problems you have. I didn't have many comorbs, but I was next in line for them!<P>Good Luck!! <I>~~Wendy D, Lap RNY 4/23/03, 313/190/150~~</I>

When I had my consult, the doctor didn't enter PCOS as a Co-morb, but he did write down two of the symptoms - infertility and insulin resistance. These along with alot of back pain were the leading factors. My BMI was nearly 54 also. Good luck! Denise 316/158

I also have PCOS. The doctor wrote that down along with some of the problems that go along with it. I don't know if it got me approved but I'm sure it helped.

I have PCOS and was approved, however my family also has a history of high blood pressur, diabetes and stroke. I put down all the co-morbs that were caused by having PCOS.
