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.

@@Yaberhoo has already heard this but I named mine Sleeven Tyler because right now he has a BIG MOUTH (gurgle growl gurgleee) and is kind of gross. Hoping to rechristen to Bruce Sleeve (for kicking a$$!!!!) once he learns to pipe down

@@Newtum, the gurgling is his war cry!

I think I'll name mine Sleevie Nicks ( Never going back again )

Mine is Miss Tummy and she is the boss of me.

Clearly our new tummies are the boss. But, like all bad bosses they can be unreasonable. And its nice to have someone to blame.

These are great ! Now I need to find a name for my sleeve. Hmmmm ...

Sleevious is the name of mine lol

LOL...love the names...I call mine Rosarita cause she LOVES mexican/spicy stuff

_{Mine is called Abby. I used to have a doll as a child named Abby that would randomly scream out!}

Mine is Sami M Sleeve. It stands for "Small Angry Monster Inside" Me Sleeve. I was just sleeved Monday and this thing is monster!

I just had surgery this morning. So far my sleeves name is MF'ing Beyotch (subject to change)

Welcome to the losers bench!!

@, that's why I say that Runt's full name isn't for the faint of heart.

I like the idea of naming my sleeve. I have not had my surgey yet but thought this is the best way to identify my new sleeve instead of saying my stomach or my sleeve.

Gidget is her name.

Gidget is a contraction of "girl midget," which is why it went on to be used to describe small female surfers.

Cocoon to Butterfly

Mine is "The Captain"...

Pouch/sleeve- kangaroos have a pouch- captain kangaroo- The Captain...
