Hair loss solution....

[Lori in Spokane 0]

After being banded for about three weeks, I noticed gobs of hair coming out when I was shampooing my hair, or in my round brush after blow drying it. That is a lot earlier than anything that I read - typically it is after about three months - so I was concerned. I read posts on here and on Obesityhelp.com and found some people had success with Biotin. I checked with my nutritionist at my doctor's and she highly recommended it.

I've been taking 5000 mcg's each day and after three more weeks, the loss has stopped completely. I'm ecstatic for the moment...who knows what could happen in the future, but claiming this victory for now! I'm not 20 anymore and my hair was already thinning out a bit anyways, so I was getting really concerned. Don't know if it's related, but my nails are growing faster and stronger now too, so since it's a B complex, I'm sure that could be another benefit!

Just wanted to share a success!

I took Biotin after surgery and didn't have any Hair loss (I think it actually grew faster and thicker), but I did develop kidney stones . The ER doc told me to get off the extra Biotin, which I gladly did :smile2:. Be careful!
