Back~To~Amy 307 Posted May 17, 2012 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. ~Amy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted May 17, 2012 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! 6 Eri, TakeDeLongWayHome, MGM and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote'] I so love that.....especially the chocolate part being the reason you chose a male name. That made me lol. ~Amy 1 Lissa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted May 17, 2012 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. 1 DesertRat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JTmoas 19 Posted May 18, 2012 These are great, I am preop too but will have to be thinking of a name, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kthump 18 Posted May 18, 2012 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.) 3 kenni, Saint_Sammie and BKMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StrangelyNormal 182 Posted May 18, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheetsin 714 Posted May 18, 2012 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..."? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
