I've used it for some of my scars, and haven't for others, and I don't see a significant difference.

Hi! So I am a week out from a LBL and was provided one bottle of the BioCorneum, but told I would most likely need more at $100 a pop! I saw other options for buying on Amazon, but I also know they sell a lot of fake products. My question is, are there no alternatives to BioCorneum that are equally as good and at a lower cost, or should I suck it up and pay $100 a bottle? Thanks!
I don't know about BC but in Ontario only panni and breast reduction is covered if you meet the qualifications.

The xiphoid can protrude a lot at the tail end of weight loss, but it seems to disappear after a while. It's one of the many reasons most surgeons prefer people to be stable at goal weight for a year before plastics.

I don't know anyone who has had that done. Even with losing 200 pounds, mine does not protrude.
Keep us posted. I am curious to hear what your surgeon says.

Has. anyone who had breast lifts or breast enhancement had their xiphoid process fixed at the same time? Apparently obese people often have protruding xiphoids as a result of their visceral fat. It doesn't show so much when we are heavy as it is masked. But now that I have lost weight it sticks out sharply and looks very weird. I know it's not dangerous. It does not hurt. But I really hate how it looks, and thought maybe it could be fixed when I do my breasts. Haven't had the consult yet. Will ask the surgeon of course. But thought I would ask the community too.

I can think of a few other words besides fascinating. My experience has been very close to yours. I've had almost no difficulty with rashes. I've had two minor ones that were easily treated within a day or two with OTC measures.
A person in authority was discussing this with me at an appointment last year. She jokingly said I could "just not take care of it" in order to get coverage. However, the "I'm joking" part came after my reaction. I do not care for insurance companies at all. I think in a lot of ways, they are parasitical, especially when they collude with government to force us into artificially high premiums. But fraud is a crime, and despite my dislike for them and their practices, I am not one who would engage in that. You are right, talking about it like that out in public is pretty stupid. She may end up as the inmate with the nicest looking tummy tuck in the slammer.
The lady at the insurance company wanted me to file a claim, but I had never had a rash or any doctor visit related to the panni, I just wanted it gone. If a person wants coverage they usually need evidence of rashes and medical treatment for the condition.
One member posted that she got hers covered by using sandpaper to irritate the skin under her panni, taking pictures, and then getting treatment so she could use build up evidence for an insurance claim.
I find it fascinating that people will commit that type of insurance fraud and then post about it on social media.
