I had my surgery May 2011 and I started Biotin that month. I have not lost any hair and I take it everyday. My daughter is a beauty operator and she said to keep on taking it. So I would start it. Good Luck!

Wow, you lost almost all your hair? ? I have really long very thick hair, it would be really noticeable if I lost it all!

I started taking the Vitamins my doc asked me to take before surgery. he more or less gave me exactly the amounts of each Vitamin I should take.

I take a liquid by Nature's Life "Source of Life Gold liquid. it is expensive but, I & my hair are worth it!!!

my doc and his nurse said it is not normal to lose hair with the gastirc band surgery.

take your adult vitamins!

My hair has thined at the bottom. I have always shedding hair. I too take Botine. It is worth it as I am down 96 lbs since Feb9/11.

I have very thick hair and I felt I was losing a lot but I'm sure no one else could tell. My mother say's I don't know where you got all the hair it certainly was'nt from me! Anyway I started to take Biotin 5000 mg (tick tac size) and the Hair loss leveled off. I asked my doctors office if the weight loss was causing the loss and the nurse said "not at the speed you're losing". Gee Thanks.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
