Did you have tail bone issues prior to surgery? When i was pregnant with my daughter she basically bent my tail bone and I 've had issues ever since. So i'm not looking forward to that part. But I'll take the good with the bad...

I never had any problems pre op. it's bad now. I can't work for more than two hours without taking a walking break.

Something I thought about... Maybe our spines are repositioning due to less weight in the abdominal area???? Never the less it hurts like a you know what!

I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with having less padding? Just a thought.

You might think about a Chiropractic adjustment.

@ Kevin- the problem with such extreme weightloss is that it takes the padding as little as it may have been in the first place, and shifts things around. All the padding you once had around your tailbone has headed south. Even If it's not something you notice. Your best bet is a pillow either one you have at home or the round ones made just for that reason the ones shaped like a doughnut. To fix said problem there are tush tightening and toning exersises you can do. Try holding a chair in front of you, bend one knew and swing the bent leg behind you. Do it slowly and you will feel the glutes flex. Keep doing reps on each leg and in time the you will tone and build up enough to keep you from sitting on your tailbone. Do stay off it because bruises take so long to heal and you can also cause a stress fracture. Doesn't matter how silly you feel sitting on a pillow, because if you don't now, after the damage is done you will be anyway. I hope that helped. Feel better.

My goodness! I'm so sorry to read about this. Gosh! That's one problem I don't have. What about using one of those inflatable donuts? That might help, albeit a temporary solution.

That's right try the inflatable donuts.

I am starting to feel bones and muscles in my body that I was never able to before. I always had a flat wife ass , and now any padding I had is gone. I feel for ya... Pillow is probably best idea.

having an alignment done is probably not a bad idea, though i am with Choatica on this one, The exercises to tighten up muscle groups that support your gluteus maximus or in your case minimus would be very helpfull. =) I used to have a, how did the gf put it, heart shaped butt, but now, its kinda like a rolo candy. ROFL.

Please follow up and let us know what you find that works!!!

      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.
