Does Biotin helps on the hair lost??

As far as I know, there are no scientific data that supports that Biotin helps the Hair loss.

Knowing this, I still take it..lol..I'm hoping it will help the hairs that's growing in to be healthy.

I hear I'm gonna lose some hair after this surgery. Will this be enough hair to be an excuse to buy and wear wigs? How much hairloss are we talking here?

I already lost like 50 to 65℅ of my hair. But I used to have hair for 3 more people Jajajaja. I'm 5 months out, the Dr. Told me to drink Biotin and fish oil. I cut it short short to deal with it, now I just comb it with my hands.

Btw I think is going to be fun if I buy a wig.

My hair is falling out like crazy. You can see scalp now. I feel like crying. My hair was already thin as it was.

I'm so scared to loose my hair! It's always been the one thing I get complimented on. It's the one thing that has helped me to feel a little bit attractive. It has to be the one thing that terrifies me the most about the surgery. :'(

I'm at five months now; still losing hair. My stylist says I've lost about 50%. I had a lot to start with, so it's not too bad, but I can totally tell. She says it should slow down soon. Fingers crossed. I cut about three inches off, blunted it on the ends, and that's helped make it look a little fuller. Not much else I can do. She did say I have a ton of new growth, though. So at least there's that!

I'm 5 months out ;My hair came out in clumps today and made me tear up. Never worn a wig before so today was the first day of many until my hair returns, if it ever does.

For those who are/have lost hair......did you feel your scalp tingle/hurt?

I don't notice my hair falling out.........I'm 2 months out and noticing my scalp tingling/hurtting a little.......

I try not to think of the possible hair loss---I already have thin hair

It's weird that you say this because I had that. It's like my scalp is tender or something. I also had some dry scalp issues. I'm using a Tea Tree shampoo/conditioner and that has helped. I was attributing the tender scalp to sunburn, maybe? since I was in the sun a lot and my hair is so much thinner.

I started losing hair at about 2 1/2 months and I'm coming up on 5 months now. It seems like the Hair loss is slowing down. God I hope it's not just wishful thinking! I had a lot of hair to begin with so it's not really noticable to others, but I can really tell that it's not as thick as it used to be. I just got it cut and got bangs which makes it easier to hide. Stylist said she saw lots of "sprouts: lol! So at least I know it's growing back. Looking at the positive!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
