Hispanic Gastric Sleevers - Question

[bikerchick519 202]

For any of you that speak Spanish, I want to get a tattoo that says, "love my sleeve" in Spanish, since I was sleeved in Mexico. My freind from Honduras doesn't know how to spell it since shirt sleeve and tatto sleeve are different and he doesn't have a clue about a stomach sleeve. Does anyone know how it should be spelled? Thanks.

Sleeve gastrectomy is called Manga gastrica, therefore I would say that "love my sleeve" would be "amo mi manga" or "amo a mi manga"

Where in Mexico did you have your sleeve, I am having mine there Dec 10 in Tijuana, by Dr.Almanza. My sister had hers done there also by Dr Kelly. I am soo excited, but yet nervous. Good look with your tattoo.

That idea sounds so cool!

Paola, thanks a lot. I think I like "amo mi manga". Chrissy I went to Dr. Kelly in TJ. Love, love, love him. I had a picture perfect post op. No pain, no gas, felt like I didn't even have surgery until the exhaustion hit me about day 6. But at about 15 days out I felt compeletely back to normal.

You can also mixed sleeve with "yo amo "

"yo amo mi sleeve" or sounds even nicer "Amo mi Sleeve"

Paola is right sleeve is manga, but manga has different meaning in Spanish

Like Sleeve in English . Manga could be a hose or tube and also manga means the sleeve of a shirt

Suggestions :

"Amo mi vida, Amo mi sleeve"

"I love my life, I love my sleeve "
