If Biotin increases hunger.... It makes sense! I have to eat every 2-3 hours. Well my dr suggests it and I thought I'm just used to it. But dang that makes sense!!!!

Thanks for sharing I had no idea!!!

Surgery date 7/25/12

FYI - Biotin INCREASES hunger. Not only have I experienced it' date=' it's a proven side effect - I will NOT take Biotin.

I am so pissed about my hair - I had this happen 2x in my life in the past 20 years. I have tried anything in the past to no avail. I really thought it wasn't going to happen.[/quote']

Maybe it won't increase your hunger. It hasn't for me..maybe it doesn't effect red heads! I also take B12. I had Hair loss when my b12 was low. I'm never Hungry and still have to set my alarm to remind me to eat. Try the biotin Shampoo

Any guys out there dealing with this? I have pretty short hair so any loss is going to jump out. I definitely would trade it for being healthier but I will take all steps possible to minimize.

for some reason i thought Hair loss would not happen to me because i am african american..

.not! lol! i have lost a lot of hair, more like thinning, length is still there but it is thin. This has been going on for 3 months now and i am 7 months out. I'm hoping it thickens up once the thinning episode ends.

I had crazy hair loss! It slowed down after 6 months. This is the first I have heard about the Biotin causing hunger, but my doc told me biotin does not prevent Hair loss, it only helps the strength of Hair growth. I take it because I am desperate for healthy and full hair again! Lol

Mine started at 3 months, I'm 4 months now. I thought I was prepared for it, and its way worse than I could have imagined. I'm afraid I'm gonna have bald spots on my scalp soon. I'm a hairstylist so this is my world!

      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.

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