I've been noticing my hair thinning our quite a bit lately. I am 3 months post op today, so the timing seems consistent with others I've read about. I've been looking for Biotin since before the surgery, bit kind of forgot about it this past month due to our military PCS.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good chewable biotin supplement? I've read that the 5000mg is better than the 1000mg. Is that true?

Thanks -

Karyn

You can get the sublingual along with b-6 and folic acid. I use one made by Wonder Laboratories. I still have not had any Hair loss, but recently contributed it to consumption of tuna and salmon.

I haven't been able to find chewables. The Biotin I got from the pharmacy is small enough for me to take without any trouble, though it is 1000mg. I take one per day, as that's what my doctor said was best for me. They're about the size of an asprin (maybe a little more flat).

Just google or word search it. Several places have it. I ordered mine from some Vitamin shop on line,but I will shop around next time because the shipping and handling was as much as the Biotin. Good luck.:)

Thanks so much for the replies :thumbup:

I actually found some 5000mg capsules at Walmart yesterday that I just open and mix with some applesauce or juice. Hopefully this works for me.

Thanks again.

      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?
