I have RA in my hips and knees, which was one of my reasons for getting sleeved. I've lost 35 pounds so far, but I'm now having an unusual (I think) problem. When I lie on my left side at night, my hip aches. It feels like there is no padding there for my hip bones, but believe me, there's still PLENTY of padding on that side!

Anyone else have this problem? Did it resolve on it's own or is this just an age thing (I'm 45) and not really related to VSG?

i do not have RA. i have lost a lot but still have 75 pounds to lose and i find it very painful to lie on my side. Like you feels like no padding. I am 63. i also have severe osteo in my knees and have to put a thin pillow between them when i lie on side or the pain where they press against each other is excruciating
