Dear Felipe (my sleeve)

Thank you for arriving on time, nearly two weeks weeks ago Tuesday.....12-17-13

I can hardly believe that it has only been a mere blink of time since the inception of our marriage and the honeymoon has yet to begin. I belive that part of the problem with our relationship is that I don't really know or understand you and you don't know a darn thing about me...although I reluctantly wanted this union, it was not without great distress, soul searching and endless research...

You may think I just woke up one day and decided to drastically mutate my body for reasons that lack insight or vetting...however, you would be grossly incorrect...just as you continue your inaccurate assertions about what I want to do and your increasing un-abliging role in such.

First it was the pain killer...some times you want to cooperate with me, some times you don't...it never seems to occur to you that if I need it, Im in pain...but you decide with reckless disregard, when you will take it down and when you won't...you're like a stubborn toddler that is hungry and has a cold - riding for a long car ride! Just stop it....

As for the capsule I tried to swallow yesterday....I was cleared to swallow whole pills and you need to wrap your little head around this concept also.....Grabbing the capsule and barricading it in my throat is not the answer.....Why be so difficult?

To add insult to injury, today you decided again, that any form of protein intake is simply unacceptable in your eyes...what you fail to realize is that unlike my children, you came with an instruction book and a whole harem of medical professionals who dictate how its going to be...despite your best efforts to be obstinate and disagreeable...

I realize as it stands our marriage is not all bad....I am down 19 lbs and for the most part we have few arguments.....I just need your assistance in meeting my liquid goals and protein intake. Please Felipe...try and be a little more hospitable to me....were married now...for life....I don't get to return you after Black Friday or downgrade to the cheaper model....the maintenance plan comes with you and I'm committed to you for eternity....please make this journey with me pleasant and I will reward you with great health, a vibrant recovery and no more additional surgeries or revisions...

Take care of yourself Felipe....Let me know if you have questions....

With Love and mild distain....

Shelby

Beautiful letter and loved the name you gave your new tummy!
