Henry Ford Health System and HAP



Recommended Posts

I am a Henry Ford Employee that has HAP Insurance. I'm just wondering if any one else has gotten the lap band surgery at Henry Ford Hospital and what all they had to go threw before the surgery cause unfortunatly I have been going threw this process for 8months now and still dont have a surgery date yet. Whom else is going threw this? Help:bored:

Hi Sweettea--

My circumstances don't exactly match yours, but when I saw you were from Detroit I couldn't help but respond.

I considered surgery at Henry Ford because it's where my PCP and other doctors are based. I decided against it, however, because I thought that it was strange that I was required to go through a day-long course before I could even meet the surgical team and get a sense as to whether or not the overall program was something I'd be interested in.

I opted, instead, to work with Dr. Wood at ABMI. I have BCN and while I've been approved, I don't have a date yet because I need an EGD. I did start my journey in May of last year, so 8 months isn't outrageous. Have you checked in with HAP to get a written statement about what you need in order to get approved? If not, you might want to. It'll help you understand whether or not you're on track and put your mind at ease that you're doing the right things.

Good luck to you!
