What Have You Named Your Sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Lol...I have named my Almanzo cuz my surgeon was Dr Almanza and Almanso was that guy I liked on "Little House on the Praire" as a child. You know, the one Laura had a crush on and later married. I never did figure their age gap out?? Lol. I also pretend they mine is speaking Spanish when its making noises. I'm such a dork!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Little House.. I read all of the books in middle school.. I also had the biggest crush on Almanzo Wilder after he went to get Laura from her teaching job to be home for Christmas in that blizzard!!! LOL...

Yep, the age gap was 10-12 years.. He was 25 when they met (I believe)...

This is cracking me up. I haven't named my sleeve, but I will tell you that my little tiny pillow that I've carried around to protect my tummy from kids and dogs post-op and to push against me when I'm achy, I named him. I have a history of naming essential pillows. My body pillow during my pregnancies was Phil. And this little pillow is called Bobby B. Said like the person who does the Whitney Houston parody on SNL.

Now, to think of a name for my sleeve. Hmmm.. It better be unique.

I'm still pondering a name but nothing has come up and hit me in the head (or tummy).

It's darn hard to hold your own with Sleevie Wonder, which I adore.

And I had thought of Sleeve McQueen, which probably only about 10 of you have even heard of the reference. Steve McQueen was a hunky actor who died too young. I wouldn't mind having him mess with my tummy however, if I wasn't very happily married.

This thread is HILARIOUS. Loving it.

I'm not naming my little Sleevie anything else until I'm hit with a bolt of lightning. Maybe in the middle of the night. Look forward to a post at 3 a.m. or so.

For some reason Hubby and I have always referred to my sleeve as "my gullet" so I guess that's the nickname. Not very creative and charming but it is what it is...

Here's to loving my gullet!!!

Living the dream!!,

I'm thinking something like Rum Tum Tum, sorta like Rin Tin Tin and both even growl the same. And call it Rummy for short.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
