What Did You Name Your Sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I am hijacking off another thread, but I have seen several people have named their sleeve. Haven't picked one for my soon to be made sleeve, so I need some good ideas!

I know people are having fun with this, but let me tell you why I would never consider naming the sleeve. It is still my stomach, it is still me, it is just a smaller stomach. I am working to de-emphasize food and eating in my life, to make it just be a normal way to get sustainance. I just feel like naming it gives it too much focus, too much of a centerstage and potentially, too much power (in my own mind).

That's how I feel about weighing myself more than twice a month, and I think twice a month is extreme.

I like the idea of naming it. For me humor helps me tremendously when it comes to something I struggle with. So I am gonna name it, I just need to come up with something funny.

Someone in the August sleevers group named mine "Isaac" because my surgery was on Aug 27 in New Orleans during the hurricane.

I was talking about this with my mom yesterday, she said I should name mine "Tiny" or "Slim" which both kinda made me laugh. I have not decided on a name, but I do kinda like Slim =p I'll think on it some more and look through this thread as it grows.

LOL.. This is great! Keep the names coming. It's a great laugh. Still thinking of what to name mine. Two types of sleevers are really sticking out to me lately, the analyzing and the lets throw in some humor and cuteness to get through this. I will definetely name my sleeve and I will have a cutesy doggie bag for yummy leftovers that will make multiple meals.. And I will still lose weight and be successful. :) Sleevie ray vaughan bwahahahahah love it... maybe SLeevie Nicks too!! Slevette, Sleevietta, Sleveline, Minnie, Austin Growlers, Sleeva (like diva if she is picky), Pouchie, ok, i will stop now... hehehehe

My husband has named mine "Tim the Tapeworm". He says he is going to tell people I got a tapeworm when he is asked about my weightloss. My husband has a unique sense of humor... :). I don't even get sleeved until October 9.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
