    They do make sub-lingual biotin. It just melts under your tongue. You can get it at health food stores.

I have heard from two people here that they got a pill stuck and damaged their band to the point of having an erosion...why risk it! I chew all pills or take liquids...

Biotin comes in tablet form too.. its what i take as the capsules looked to big for me to get past the band ..

I've been taking Biotin in capsule form fine but I also have never had a fill yet. I imagine I will not be able to continue once that happens.

I take Biotin in a capsule, but post-op I would open the capsule and sprinkle over a spoonful of pudding or applesauce. It's not XR or extended release, so it doesn't matter if you open it up.

What is biotin for?

Hair, nail and skin support. After about 3 months after surgery you might see some changes in your hair.

I buy biotin 5000 mg that is the size of a tick tac. No problems swollowing.

Like Honk the biotin I get are tiny! My Vit D capsules are a little bigger than the biotin and with 2 fills and decent restriction I have never had a problem with them. Mucinex pills and most other hard/big pills I wont try, but I have been told my many if it is smaller than an m&m it is generally good to go.
