Anyone have pain in their tailbone. i was sleeved 11/5 and I'm down 58# and down 87 since september. When driving more than 2 hours my butt is killing me. I had no butt before surgery and now have less. I have seen the pads being advertised on tv has any one tried these and if so did it help? Which one did you try?

I wanna try padded panties because my arse is killing me! I too had nothing there pre op so down even 30lbs and my tailbone hurts constantly. It hurt beforehand so I knew it'd get worse. I wish I could sit for 2 hrs!!

hi Lizv123,

Padded panties sounds good...but i would also recommend getting in touch with your physical/occupational therapist bec they might have better recommendations for padding/ special surface material (seat cushion) for your everyday sitting routine (chair, couch, car, etc). You want to protect your tailbone bec if it's hurting and you're losing weight you don't want to have skin breakdown there which will be hard to heal and painful. moisturize the area, avoid friction, and keep the skin protected. Your hospital should cover this seat cushion --- hope this helps.

Hi,

I have severe tailbone pain from osteoarthritis/degenerative disc disease in my lumbar spine. This has caused sacral nerve root inflammation and entrapment. I have a "doughnut" cushion that I sit on especially riding/driving in car or at desk when working for aa while. It helps. I got it at a home health agency. I recommend if you didn't fall recently that caused it. To mention it to your doctor. Especially if it has lasted a while. I have lost 45+ lbs and it has not helped the pain. I am doing PT twice a week, exercises, heat, e-stimulation, and have had two bilateral sacral nerve blocks. So far only improvement is I can bend over sometimes and pick up items off the floor which I could not anytime before without screaming.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
