Yay! My hair is growing back!



Recommended Posts

I had heard a lot about Biotin, but I did not take supplements because Biotin is in my multi-vite. But last month...desperate and willing to try anything...I started taking 5,000mcg biotin supplement everyday. I'm seeing my hairline filling in....I should have started taking the stuff right from the start....but happy now to see hair growing. :D

I actually had no idea your hair could fall out. This scares me a little. How did you notice? Meaning were you washing your hair and suddenly grabbed a ton in your hand? Sorry if the question sounds silly. lol

Yes, that's what happens. I notice more in my hairbrush, the sink, and coming out in my hand when washing. It's not coming out in handfuls, and I'm not balding, but I'm certainly "shedding" more than normal!

I'm afraid to do anything with my hair...blow dry, curl, color... Hands full just from shampooing! I'm about 6 1/2 months out. When does this stop?

I started thinning at about 3 months. Mine stopped around 5 months. Coming back nice now!

can you start this Biotin early before it starts falling out? I'm 2 & 1/2 weeks out but am thinking when i start all my Vitamins i should add this?

I have taken Biotin all along and I still have hair fall. I hit 3 months and nothing, I thought maybe i was good. 3 months and 1 week and it happened! It is a little alarming. So far i don't think anyone but me notices, but i am super nervous about that.

Mine fell out like crazy! I was scared I'd be bald.. luckily I have enough hair for 5 people.....literally! But mine finally started slowing down and I can see baby hairs coming through. I'm 8.5 months out and it has happened for the last several months

      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!
