I know several people on here have named their sleeve, but I couldn't find an official thread. I've found that naming my sleeve has helped me get through the irritation of the healing process (I am 11 days post op). My sleeve is Runt. Her full name isn't for the faint at heart and is used on bad days (it rhymes).

I felt bad yelling at my stomach, because pre surgery my stomach was a cast Iron fortress. I could eat nails and it would cheer for more. This new stomach is whimpy, whiny, and has *gasp* acid issues. That's unheard of pre surgery!

Runt and I have the typical arguments that most new relationships have. Most days I can force her to submit to our daily Water and Protein intake. Saturday was not the case. Runt and I screamed at each other all day. She only wanted ice water, and I wanted to have my Protein shake and medications. I emailed the after care nurse to mediate for Runt and me. An extra dose of prilosec made all the difference today. It's a rocky road so far for Runt and me.

So in the spirit of bring humor to those harder days, NAME YOUR SLEEVE! Dudes, it really does help.

After explaining my surgery to my 5 year old son he looked at me and said 'So you have a FrankenTummy?' So from that day on my sleeve became FrankenTummy.

I named mine Stevie (Stevie the Sleevie). The relationship gets better with time. Especially since you know your relationship is permanent.

I named mine Moaning Myrtle...because of all the sounds she makes lol

OMG...this thread made me laugh, which is so good on a Monday morning!

" Her full name isn't for the faint at heart and is used on bad days (it rhymes)." Too funny!

I'll have to come up with a name. LOL Good stuff!!!

"ShockCollar"... It's all good as long as I stay in the boundaries, but if I step outside I gen an unpleasant correction!

In the early days I called mine tiny tyrant tummy. We get along fine now and I never have issues anymore.

Mine is Sleevie Ray Vaughn

I am laughing so hard at all these names! I haven't come up with a name for mine yet but I'll think of something today!

I don't have a sleeve yet, but can I just say how entertaining I found this post? Well played!

Mine is called "Walter", ya know like the Dummy with Jeff Dunham.

These are great! Keep them coming!

Hmmm I don't have an official name, bit the first things that come to mind are "cock blocker" and "hater" lol just when I get a good bite in, the "cock blocker"/"hater" comes and ruins what could have been an enjoyable meal. Like literally three bites, and the sleeve shuts $hit down lol. Never thought I'd be happy to have a "cock blocker"/"hater" in my life permanently ????

I call mine Sleeve Perry.

Sleevezilla lol

I named mine Major Bob.

Because I had a major part of my stomach bobbed.
