Does your sleeve have a name?

[Indigo1991 1,612]

Noticed some people's Sleeves have names.... Does yours and does it help to name them?

I gave my arthritis a name - Arthur - and it did help when it was bad to be able to complain to him personally :-)))))

I'm still pre-op, so mine is only a sleeve-to-be. Maybe kind of like a "fiancé" (as in "future spouse") mine is a "sleevé"--pronounced "sleeve-ay"!

I didn't name my sleeve but I named the part of the stomach that they cut out.

I called him "fat bastard" and kicked him to the curb....

I named my sleeved stomach "Fred". Some days Fred has an attitude.

This thread reminds me of a friend of mine who named her GPS system's voice "Horace Vandergelder", after the cranky character from "Hello, Dolly". I think I might use that as a sleeve name, and talk to it with Barbra Streisand's voice.

"Why, Horace Vandergelder, as I live and breathe--how well you look!"

...Sorry, my musical theater geek is showing. *tucks it back in*

Funny! I named my GPS unit Beatrice. No name for my sleeve though.

Naming your sleeve?? okay we are just getting way too into this.

You mean you haven't heard of "Sleevie Wonder" or "Sleevie Nicks" around the forums?

Shortdog, it's a girl thing. On that note, I haven't been sleeved yet but will probably name mine after I meet him or her... Gotta see if she is a cranky wench or laid back and easy to live with.

LOL!! Oh the imagery!!

I decided not to name my sleeve because it is a permanent part of my body, not some foreign visitor. I did name my Lapband. Her name was Sybil because she had multiple personalities. I'm very happy that Sybil is long gone and I no longer have a foreign bject in my body that needs constant babysitting!

well since my shirts already have a left and a right sleeve....how about the middle sleeve? Just joking!....kinda like "Sleeve Martin!" lol!

Haha! That's pretty much just how it looked too!

Including singing to me about food

[It'sNowOrNever 100]

I called mine "the food police " but not in the past month or so. I know when to stop eating now and I don't need "the food police" to write me any more tickets.

Thank you all for your thoughts, need to think if mine will have a name or be left in peace.

Laura, I laughed out loud at the "fat bastard", fantastic!
