Hello again!

I have been taking Biotin for 11 months in anticipation for surgery this past March. I know it won’t prevent hair loss, rather promote Hair growth (I started losing my hair 2 weeks ago).

However, about 3-4 weeks ago I noticed I have developed a semi-dark mustache. I pointed it out to my husband and he said “I saw that the other day and wasn’t sure if I should point it out” so it's obviously noticeable.

Anyway, could this sudden appearance of facial hair be due to the Biotin, the surgery, or hormones? I now have an appointment with my hair gal to wax it off. This will be the first time wax has ever touched this girl. ;-)

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Yup, it's the Biotin. I think it affects anyone differently. I stopped using it because of this reason. On other weight loss blogs, people have commented about this problem. I don't think I've seen this issue on here, but I could be wrong.

I've heard that as well. I've been taking it 3 or 4 times a week instead of every day in hopes that that won't happen to me.

Geez Louise! I've taken it twice a day for 11 months. I must stop before I grow a beard. Thank you ladies. I guess I didn't research Biotin as well as I thought.

Have a GREAT day!

      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.
