20,000 mg of biotin + minoxidil has helped me. One to slow the loss and the other for regrowth.

Biotin works for me. My surgeon said you can take up to 20,000 mg per day.

I don’t have any pre-surgery. I’m 16 months our, lost 50 lbsand currently weight 156 lbs and wear 8-10 pants. I work out 3-5 days a week at the YMCA.

Try 20,000 biotin a day. I also used minoxidil on my scalp and washed my hair with Nioxin shampoo. I think the biotin helped the most but it takes a while.

I had a lot of hair loss. You can safely use 20,000 mg of biotin a day. It has helped me a lot. At my worst I washed my hair with Nioxin and used minoxidil on my scalp. I got a shorter cut about 2 months ago and things are growing back nicely.

My Dr said I could use up to 20,000 mg of biotin safely. I use Niacin, minoxidil, and the biotin. After heavy hair loss mine has finally stopped. I think the extra 10,000 mg of biotin did the trick.

Congratulations on your loss. You look amazing. Just know that it takes our mind a little longer to readjust to the changes in our physical appearance. I remember thinking the same as you but then one day I passed a mirror on a store and had to stop and take a closer look. This journey is psychological as well as medical. Everything in us needs time to readjust. Just keep going.

A pillow is very helpful for the car rides to and from airport, home, and probably even on the plane.

It seems many people had the “what did I do” thoughts right after but most change to “ why did I wait so long” not long after. To not only lose weight but have more energy, ditch meds, and just all around feel better sends any regrets out the window.

Congrats hope you are doing well.

I am 1 year out today. Head down, no distractions, do not talk about it to others, only close family and I advise not too much. You have to get your head wrapped around the journey you are about to begin, I spent a lot of time on the Gastric Sleeve website reading about others journey. I can now wear 6-8 pants, off all medications and feel great. The hardest part of the journey is the head games. Keep your focus. Good luck. I will pray for you

Congratulations the sky [emoji292] is the limit now.

A little sassy [emoji136] I would say. Congrats you deserve all life brings you.

8 months out and I am down 56 lbs. I have 20 more to go for goal. I bought a swimsuit tonight at academy and it only took me 20 minutes. Big NSV for me. Bottoms are 10 and top is 14. Of. course I have flabby arms and thighs but granddaughter won't care when we are at the pool together. Yea all of us!
