I have the same issues! My tailbone is always sore now. My back hurts more in the middle near my shoulder blades.

I went to see a chiro this week. I couldn't take it anymore and the orthopedic had nothing on X-ray or mri

Chiro said my sacroiliac joint was out of place causing lower back pain. He adjusted me and recommended sitting on a 65 cm ball to strengthen up my core

Now to fix the upper back issues

I was thinking about going to see a chiropractor. It feels like I have a kink right at the last vertebrae of my spine. I would think as you lose the weight the aches would lessen not increase...

My tailbone hurt for a while but has eased up. It's a loss of padding. Now my hip bones hit if I don't sit right. Lol. I'll take it.

Loss of padding combined with poor posture from the years of carrying the extra weight.

Chiropractor and strengthening exercises helped me. PLUS re learning how to sit properly. More on the "sitz" bones if you will, than the end of the butt. Tilt your pelvis a bit to preserve the lumbar curve and you will relieve the pressure on the end of your spine and be sitting in proper alignment.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
