Tail Bone Pain



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else have tailbone pain since losing weight? I have lost around 71 pounds and my butt bone is really starting to hurt.

YES! I definitely have this issue from time to time. It almost feels as though I go through adjustment periods after enough losses have occurred. There have been times when even the comfiest of seats have not been enough to prevent me from feeling discomfort. There have been some killer car rides.

Right now, I think that I have adjusted to the current array of padding on my posterior.

At times, I wonder, "how can thin people stand sitting down?" But I guess that they're just used to it and it is different for those of us who are adjusting to having less padding. My mother-in-law is quite thin and has said that she has never had any pain. So, I really think that it is a matter of my body adjusting to the changes that it is experiencing. It will hopefully get better and better over time!

Yes, Yes, my spin session/bike ride at the gym is killing my tail bone lately. I also rubbed it raw while doing incline sit ups, ouchhhhh.

Same here, how do those skinny ass people do it anyhow :)

I fell off my bike TWICE and have really got it bad now. Time and pain relievers is what it's going to take. Padded bike shorts help on the bike, perhaps they'd help in your situation?

Same here. Used to have really big butt, now it's flatter than a flitter (whatEVER that is!). Can't even sit in a recliner very long!

Horrible pain, and I am not even skinny yet! I hope my little booty does adjust as we go along because I have a desk job also and right now i have a big pillow sitting on my office chair. It is so sad the butt & boobs are the first to go. :(

I sure do hate hearing this! I've had pretty bad tailbone pain for 8 mos. now and I haven't even been sleeved yet!! Ahhhhh! Haven't been able to ride my spin bike, or my horse much...hell, I can't even ride the recliner much either, constantly getting up and taking the pressure off. I think some chiropractic adjustment may be in my very near future

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
