Will it happen for everyone?

I also meant to mention that I know several "lightweights" who have NOIT expericend this... but I suspect it is because they did not have as much padding on their rears to begin with, so there was not much difference when they lost the weight.

The best way for me to answer this;  I stand a lot more than I sit now.  My fanny aches from sitting too long.  You don't realize what a difference 100 pounds can make, it definitely makes one. 

I am a lightweight and yes I do have tail bone pain.  Not fun but better than being fat.

According to my wife I shouldn't suffer from butt pain because I have no butt.

I had tailbone pain for a while, as your body shifts and you have less padding on your butt it's a very good possibility you'll feel some pain.  For how long is unknown.  I don't have pain any more except when sitting on bleachers at the baseball games my son participates in.

Hard surface = discomfort
Other surfaces = fine

I haven't had any, but then I never had it before I became SMO either. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I didn't gain weight until I was in my 30's and had my WLS when I was 45, so maybe my butt didn't get used to the extra padding enough to have problems when it left? Or, more likely, maybe my butt is STILL too fat, LOL! =)

Seriously though, most folks seem to have it, but not many have a huge issue. Although poor Lady Lithia did. If you want a REAL butt pain story, PM her. (But remember she is the exception rather than the rule).

Best of luck on your journey! =)
