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!!!

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
