Will it happen for everyone?
My hiney hurts a lot more if I spend too much time sitting. I never 'truly' noticed the difference until last summer. I had my RNY surgery in October '09. In August '10 I had a open hernia repair surgery and was sofa bound for 3 weeks. I had lost 120 pounds at that point and OOOO sitting was a complete pain in the arse...LITERALLY.
Some people notice it more than others...I guess it has a lot to do with how and where you carried your weight before and how much and where you lose it from post surgery.

I do not know anyone who didn't.
3 years later - I work reallyhard to get back my butt - working out to built the muscles: situps, special exercise, shoes. Finally I cna sit on a bench for a while and not cry in pain.
Onc eI lost most of my weight - I had to have a butt pillow, even in my car with leather sits.
Now - can do without.

That's because you are ONLY 9 weeks post-op! The pain comes when you lose the fat on your butt and the bones are not used to having so much pressure on them when you sit on firm surfaces.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I had pain for about a year, but as I did some work to strengthen all three of my gluteus muscles (I have a problem with muscle weakness on my left side as a result of favoring that side of my body because of my history of blood clots and my severe arthritis in my knee on that side) the pain went away.
It still bothers me if I sit for a long time or on a very hard surface (like a picnic bench), but nothing like it did before.
