Patient s/p gastric bypass with complications of stricture of anastomosis and ulceration of the anastomotic site. I could really use help with this one!

is this inpatient

997.4 534.90 (2008): I am not 100% percent sure about this selection

Since there is stricture, why not 534.91?

Those codes look good. I did select the 534.91 but needed the stricture of anastomosis code. Thanks a ton!!!
