Some days when sitting at work or driving for long periods of time, my tailbone hurts really bad, and it feels like it wants to poke out from under skin and tear through it... and I asked doc about it he said not normal and to try to put some padding on seat.. 

Do i need to have it looked at ?? 

Oh the joys of being thin! 

Do you go through this too?

246 in Dec 2008 before banded 1/28/09 at 215 lbs, band crapped 9/09 at 170 lbs and struggled with it and regained to 203 revised to bypass on 8/1/11 and am very happy.

Yep. At home or work, I fidget a lot. My car has so far been OK. 

I travel every week, and airplane seats are a killer. I had to buy a gel pad to carry with me when I travel. If I dont use the pad, I can barely stand, and the plane ride is excrutiatingly painful.

I just got off a three hour trip using the pad and I'm OK.

Ha!  I wouldn't describe it as dramatically as you but I do miss the cushion I carried with me everywhere I went, AKA my bootie, which is shrinking to a size I haven't seen since I was in grammar school.  Who knew sitting could be so uncomfortable.  I really notice it on the toilet seat for some reason.  I guess I'll get used to it.

I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.  I couldn't sit still/had pain in the derriere.  It was a friend who brought it to my attention that I had less padding.

I've also had to buy a mattress topper as I've turned into the princess from Princess and the Pea in bed, feeling every bump in the mattress.
