Post Op Hair Loss Question



Recommended Posts

Anyone have recommendations for a Biotin supplement for Hair loss that is tolerable? I bought some; a skin, hair nails supplement-and they are huge pills which I have to cut into 3's which means I have to take 6. They are sooo gross. Anyone who has taken huge prenatals knows what I mean. I can almost taste them all day and gag on them from the smell.

I have super thick hair and the qty falling out is alarming. I know it will stop, but I also want to keep it healthy.

I've been using a Biotin Shampoo that seems to be helping a bit, but in the end it's going to run its course. I know some companies do make chewable biotin.

You may want to check out Puritan's Pride. The biotin they sell is pretty small if you buy the tablets.

Hope this helps.

I brought Biotin pills from Walmart and they are small. I have no probelm swallowing them. I am afraid of big pills though, becasue they will get stuck... so I try to stay away from them..

I take the Solaray B-Complex chewable in strawberry-kiwi flavor which I think tastes pretty good and has 300 mcg of Biotin which is 100% daily value per day in one chewable tab. It is not very expensive and I just order it online. I have also started using Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner. I am not sure ant of this has helped yet but at least I feel like I am doing something. Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
