I like the thread someone started about how we got our usernames because it is a kinda get to know you in a different sorta way. Then, I saw a poast where someone called their sleeve by name. So....that got me to thinking, what do you call your sleeve? I'm still preop and thus can't contribute but I'm interested to hear from those who have given their sleeve a name.

My sleeve is named Rex, and Rex is male. Rex is because he's been downsized from a T-Rex (big to little) and male because he doesn't like for me to eat chocolate. Only a man would deny a woman some chocolate!

I so love that.....especially the chocolate part being the reason you chose a male name. That made me lol.

Rex didn't like sweets from day 1. Sometimes now he'll let me have some chocolate, but he usually balks after a couple of bites. If I have any, though, I count it as if I ate the whole thing on My Fitness Pal.

Oh my stars, that was funny!!!

These are great, I am preop too but will have to be thinking of a name, lol

I have two names for mine. When it is in a good mood - it's Steve, the Sleeve. When it's grumbly, I refer to it as Grouch, the Pouch. (probably not the most original names.)

I'm dumb. I don't have my sleeve yet. That's what I call my tummy now. I saw you were "pre-op"and then misread.

I call her Mini

Junior.

sleevie wonder lol i'm always amazed at how little he holds my screen name is a nickname from middle school plus my bday.

Sleevie Wonder! Love that

I've seen people naming their bands, too. Always struck me as odd, but I'm not judging.

Just out of curiosity, do you guys have names for your other organs, or just your stomach?

Do you refer to it by name, like in 3rd person? E.g. "No thanks, I'm not hungry, Sleevie Wonder ate at 2..."?

Omg I haven't laughed so hard. I swear I literal spewed scrabbled eggs all over by phone when I read that

Lmao that was great. I don't talk to my body parts - I just named it just because it's a new body part lol
