Oh yeah, I relate. Losing the ass fat left me with a bony butt and feeling the tailbone. OW! Cushions help, yeppers.

And move that seat forward! Problem solved! Keep moving it up until you're like a bug wrapped in your car rug baby.

Great to hear your feelin the effects of the WLS! Good work young woman, you make me proud since I'm an old fart

This is way too funny. The first thing I noticed was a painful @$$. It hurts to sit, it hurts to get out of the car (for different reasons now) but I seem to have NO @$$ at all.


I too have been able to lower my steering wheel and raise my seat......

At work the guys call me the a$$less wonder. That thing is totally gone. I've moved and repositioned my car seat and have a pillow behind me now when I drive. I have actually missed a chair and almost hit the floor a couple of times because I misjudged the size of my bum. I swear my tailbone sticks out that area of my hiney aches all of the time. What a great feeling. LOL

We have to laugh at ourselves!! This topic is classic of the changes we see, that when you talk to "normal" people about what changes you have seen, and you forget about little things like this!!!

Hell, Im going Corvette shopping!!!

Woohoo! My hubby's uncle has a 74 Stingray (which is willed to my hubby) and I have only ridden in it once over 20 years and never been able to drive it, because I didn't fit. We were just up there visiting last week and I didn't have time, but his uncle told me next time we come up I could take the car out - LOL, usually I dread going to see his family, now I'm already anxious for the next trip!

My seat has stayed the same not all the way back but slightly reclined.
But I did notice on my drive back to MN in June that my butt sure got sore. Never before had it happened like that...LOL We normally could drive straight through and only stop for gas and no problems. This time I was always readjusting myself. But I am not complaining I like my butt now...LOL
