Biotin? Coromega?



Recommended Posts

How much Biotin are you all taking to help prevent Hair loss? My surgery date is 11-18 and I started taking 5000mg a day. I see the bottle says it can be taken twice a day. Also anyone taking Coromega for hair loss?

Hi,

I take Biotin in a chewable form because it's better absorbed then taking the pills.

I would also spread out the Biotin during the day. Some in the morning and some in the night.

I use Twin Labs Biotin Dots.

Good luck with your surgery and here's to a healthier and happy you.

Thank you! how many milligrams do you take a day? And is it helping at all? Where can I get the chewables? I haven't seen them

Omg, my hair is falling out literally by the handfuls. :'( I'm taking 5000 mg per day, broken up between morning and night. I'm getting so scared that if this keeps up I'll be bald by next month. My hair has always been super thick. Note it's thin and limp. Is there anything else I can take that works?

I'm a big believer in homemade Bone Broth (like chicken stock made with the frame of the bird)...super high in collagen and Gelatin for healthy skin and hair.< /p>

I have also heard amazing things about Coromega squeeze packets. I guess it's like a pudding consistently and is absorbed well. I think I will be trying it with Biotin when I'm post op. You can find it cheaper on EBay and Amazon. I'd love some more feedback on Shampoo, I've heard about Nioxin, but haven't heard to much about any others.

I've heard that Omega 3's are supposed to help too, also keeping up with Protein.< /p>

I am willing to try anything. My hair is so thin on top that I have to use brown spray Shampoo to hide my scalp and I'm still pre op. If I lose a lot it will literally be bald on top! Maybe once I lose weight my hormones will balance out and I will have thicker hair? My hair before I gained so much weight was so thick. Here's hoping

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
