I had my sleeve surgery in May, 2016. I've now lost 164lbs and am finding it is very painful to sit, even long enough for a meal in a restaurant. Unfortunately, I was nearly immobile prior to surgery so I am not yet strong enough to not sit much of the time. My tailbone is sore most of the time and I'm finding it is painfully difficult to even ride a recumbent bicycle. Does anyone else have tailbone pain? Any suggestions?

I too have been having tailbone pain. Figured I'd just get used to it after a while. I'm down 158 pounds and have no butt at all. Trying to focus some gym time to bulk up back there but it is very slow going.

I was going to say the same. Maybe bulking up the muscle back there will provide a new "pillow"

It sounds horribly painful.

This is the story of my life... I'm Asian and no matter how fat I get I still have a flat butt. Sitting always hurts me... I give myself bruises if I sit on anything hard for too long....

I hope you find a fix [emoji4]🤞🏼

Apparently removal is a legitimate fix for severe cases.

Perhaps try concentrating on glute exercises. If the muscles get larger, they may provide some buffer.

I have lost 102 pounds since 8/31/2016 and I am having the same issue...although not as bad as yours. I have to sit on top of several blankets when I sit on my couch or in my recliner when I watch tv. It doesn't bother me to sit in my chair at work, but at home, it really sucks. I watched "Skin Tight" the other day and there was a lady on there that had lost a bunch of weight and her tailbone was sticking too far out and caused her a lot of pain. She ended up having her tailbone removed! I wish I had some suggestions, but I am at a loss on what to do myself.

I had this problem after dropping over 100 pounds about ten years ago. Went from 230-118. My doctor had no answers- it was a nightmare! She said something about it being broken and then having it removed, so I never went back. (She lost her medical license shortly after).
The pain went away when I gained weight. From what little research I've done, it seems to be linked to changing posture after dropping weight. This time, I will see my physical therapist before it gets out of hand like last time.
I hope you feel better!
