Wiki 00797 question

Messages

For gastric band removal for someone who is no longer morbidly obese, would anesthesia still use the 00797 cpt code? It crosswalks from 43772 to 00797 with no other alternate codes listed, but since the patient isn't morbidly obese, I question this.
Thanks in advance.
