When I was in the hospital I lost pretty much all my hair due to the complications of WLS. I used only Biotin for my hair and Now my hair is back and thick but curly. It used to be straight! But I am a happy camper. This is the last bottle I am going to take for now. As I feel I won't need it anymore after this one is empty.

Biotin isn't going to prevent your hair from falling out. It will help the hair you have, and what gross back to be healthier and stronger.

I take a general Biotin of 500icu twi capsules a day in the morning when I take my other Vitamins. I am 2 weeks preop today and the nutritionist says to continue that after but you gotta get the Protein in the help it grow!!

The Biotin I'm taking is called Natrol 10,000 mcg. I'm 3 months out and haven't lost any hair yet but started taking the Biotin a few weeks ago. I bought mine online through Iherb.com. You can also check Amazon if you can't find it in a drugstore or possibly costco.

I got my Biotin from costco. I take 3 pills a day. I can't recall right now how many milligrams that is. I take whatever the recommended dosage is. My hair is doing ok. My hair is really curly and I've always lost a ton of it when I wash. I can't tell if its more than before.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
