Biotin doesn't only promote hair on your head



Recommended Posts

Been taking my Bariatric Fusion Vitamins since November. I was sleeved on 12/10.

My vitamins have a small amount of Biotin in them but recently decided to add more to help with new Hair growth, since I figured I would possibly start to lose hair very soon. I have never had an issue with facial hair, I was born naturally blonde so if I had any, it was very light. Well, in the last two weeks I have had more crazy coarse hairs pop out on my face, upper lip, chin & eyebrows. I have stopped the additional Biotin & have had two Electrolysis visits. Ughhh, anybody else have this issue with Biotin?

Oh yes, I've posted here several times about this issue with Biotin. It doesn't stop Hair loss, but it promotes Hair growth -- the issue is, you can't tell it where to work and where not to work! I ended up with massive quantities of facial hair plus new blooms of heavy growth basically everywhere south of my navel. Total waste of money!

Yes for me too. I took Biotin for almost a year. No growth on my head and it didn't help with the Hair loss, BUT the hair everywhere else went crazy like an overgrown monkey. I finally stopped taking it. Had to start waxing my arms and I won't even talk about the Hair growth down south. Oh boy.. Finally stopped taking it.

Biotin use here.

My hairline on the forehead is already becoming a five-head. No want of any more thinning. I'm pouring the coals to the Biotin supplements.

Norelco Body Groomer makes short order any unwanted hair in any other area.....quick, easy and effective.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
