So little to no sleep last night.  Spent much of the time reading up on my information for sugery and post op.  Finally around 2:30 I got up and putz'd around the house doing nervous work.  At 3:30 took the pre-surgical home scrub down and then I was off to the hospital. 
I felt sorry for my brother, he brought me and this is god awful boring for him.  After the short drive and cold walk in, signing in was a gram of protein (in lew of a piece of cake).  Weigh in and then change to hospital gear.  Nice touch,  towel blanket and gown were pre-warmed for me.  They supplied me with slipper to take home too (cost at the store $1.50. charge to insurance more like $150).  Once they started things really start to role.  Pincushion time, type and cross match the blood again, hook up the IV's and talk to the nurses, a tech to ceritfy my CPAP, a anesthesioligist in training (she was so sweet and the most blue eyes I have ever seen), the actual anesthesioligist, lead O.R. nurse, and finally my surgeon.
A couple of shots of some relaxation meds, and then off to the E.R.
CAN YOU SAY BRR!  I used to tease my doctor of storing his stethescope in the fridge, but OMG this OR room was the fridge.  Slid over to the opeating table, got to say hi to everyone again, go on oxygen and.....

Well here I am in recovery and....

Well here I am in recovery and, oh yeah, been here, just waking up again.  Thirty minutes of in and out of sleep and the nice ladies got me walking, tested with upper GI and got me home.

I will check the VSG site, but at the same time I will tell people to get their soon to be tiny heinies in this chat,  
Thanks for the wishes, surgery went well and much easier than I expected.  I only had to report a 4 to 5 (on a 1 to 10 scale) once, and the staff at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing were very caring and attentive.  In at 5:30 a.m. Home at 2 in the afternoon.
My choice of surgeon was some of the years of legwork I personally had to put in.  I met with doctors in Ypsilanti, Grand Rapids and Flint, attended some meetings for the original Sparrow Hospital program and found much good, but not the fit I was looking for.  I kept talking to my regualr doctor and he kept looking for me as well.  He gave his recommendation for MISA, minimally Invasive surgical associates.  Dr. Melissa Richardson was my surgeon, and she shares this practice with Dr. Mindy Lane.  It is a complete practice and they are the best in working out the snags along the way

Good luck. Everything will be fine :)

Congrats and good luck! Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery! I cant wait till I can get my sleeve! Which surgeon did you choose? BTW make sure too let us know how your surgery went, the Michigan forum seems kinda dead, but the VSG forum is really active.

Getting my sleeve tomorrow.  So nervous, scared and really excited!!!
