Probably worlds stupidest question. I lost a lot of weight since my surgery in December.(80lb) I had a pretty big booty before, now its very boney. Every time I do floor exercises my tailbone hurts so bad. I avoid floor exercises, as well as sitting on the floor. I doesn't hurt during other activities or sitting on soft things. Is this normal when you first lose weight. Does my body just have to get use to the lack of padding. I know this is a very stupid question. My husband and daughter say it cause I'm skinny now. So I was wondering if it really was normal.

Hi Ya, I can totally relate!! I have always had a no butt syndrome. LOL I'm sure there isn't a club for this...but I have had the hardest time with my tailbone. I'm not sure if it happened because of my accidents when I was a teenager and then again going roller skating in my 30's. Also my many falls from my horseback years. I can not tell you how many different pillows!! Now I am 5 years out and I just found out that they can put something around your tailbone. I envision fat from my upper body and filling up my tailbone. I did find this out from the program called "BOTCHED". I did ask my DR that works on my knee with a gel injection, I ask him about putting something in my bottom. He just kind of smiled and looked at me like I have birds feathers sticking out of my mouth!! I know we live in a city that is kind of slow getting info sometimes but...if it is on TV I wonder if they have seen it. Lo and behold I am still suffering with my achy breakee tailbone!! So sad but oh so true!! I hope you can get some help. Good Luck and have a great day!!

Oh but there is the initals are NAAA,No A** At All, and it is amazing how many lodge brothers and sisters you have on Bariatric Pal alone. And then there is the Dunlop Society, I belong to this one,so named because your gut Done Laps over your private areas. Oh if my,people could give your people a butt cheek transplant. We would do it in the swoosh of a? collies tail!

Even though I still have a lot of weight to lose, I never had much of an a$$. Now, even my nice computer chair hurts my butt. Yikes! I don't know what it'll be like in another 50 pounds. I'm already looking for decorative cushions for work.

I’ve lost a lot of weight since WLS 14 months ago, am below goal weight, and now have issues with coccydynia (aka tailbone pain). There are a variety of ways to relieve this discomfort (Google them), but when they didn’t do much for me I went to a pain clinic and had pericoccygeal injections of local anesthetic and steroid performed under fluoroscopy done. I had this procedure twice and have been pain free for a couple of months now. I hope it lasts for awhile.

Getting a coccyx pillow for your office chair and car seat is helpful if you sit for long periods of time. You can buy them on Amazon or at a medical supply store.
