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!!

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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
