Hello my friends! I hope everyone is having a great evening!  I was just wondering if any of you peeps have had tailbone pain after WLS??  I have horrible tailbone pain ... I sit, lay nothing without tailbone pain ... it is actually pain to the bone.  I can push on the bone while standing and it is very painful.  Ahh! I am too young and cute to carry around a donut pillow... oh what to do :(

I had discomfort for a while due to the fact that I lost my fat pad there. It eventually went away.

Think back on your activities for a time that you might have bumped it, it might have happened a week or so ago. Contact the doc if it does not go away as there is not reason for you to live in pain.

OH YES it hurts
 I feel you, I have lost my padding too and the bones don't like it much,
I carry a pillow with me if I know I will be sitting some place that has hard seats,

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

I know that I fell before it started hurting ... but I fell more on my side not on my tush.  But it hurts more if I slouch while sitting than if I sit straight up...  I have to sit down and even get up so gingerally :(  My poor tush :)

Hi Gina,

I can relate! I had to bring a pillow to work because I could not bare sitting in my chair all day.

In the evening while I read in bed I sit on a heating pad, this seems to help some.

Oh well I guess this is what happens when one losses a lot of weight.
