Hair Loss And Biotin

[lexx 20]

M sure this has been discussed, but has anyone experienced Hair loss after bein banded? I hear some stuff about that then heard of some youtubers and their use of Biotin. Anyone try it? I'm lookin for chewables?

Yes hair loss is very common after lapband surgery

Biotin helps, but you need to take it consistently for a long time (some people say 6+ months)

I have not heard of Biotin chewables

Taking a Multivitamin once a day will also help (those come in chewable versions)

Make sure your getting adequate protein!! That will also help with Hair loss

I had a hard time with this as well. I started taking Biotin the pills are small so its not that bad. I also started using this miracle Shampoo and conditioner with a spray in stay in conditioner and it is amazing. It's called "It's a 10" expensive but it really works.

I started taking Twinlab Biotin Dots. They are 300mcg, you take 2 per day. They are small dots and chewable.< /p>

You can find sublingual (melts under tongue) Biotin at vit./health food stores (not GNC).

I started taking mega doses of biotin before I had surgery because hairloss was my biggest fear. I don't know if it helped or not because I still lost about 40% of my hair. Who knows, maybe I would have lost more if I had not taken the biotin. The good news is my hair grew back.

When I started loosing some hair I went to the dermatologist. He assured me i wouldn't go bald. He said your body goes into kind of a shock after rapid weight loss and that's why hair falls out. I never tried Biotin and a few months later I was back to normal. It started about 5 months postop and ended about 3 months later.

Some multi-vitamins chewables have some Biotin in them. It's a good idea to buy some biotin and take if you're seeing a large Hair loss.< /p>

I've lost 170 lbs and the nutritionist I saw told me that if I got 60 grams or more of Protein, that I wouldn't lose my hair and it worked. She said that our skin and hair is made of Protein. Although I have had to have a Tummy Tuck and breast lift, my skin looks great.

Can u tell me when ur hair grew back?

I had highlights. and everywhere it was blonde nearly broke in half. This was right at 100lbs. I got my hair darkened getting rid of the highlights that stopped the breakage. Dlb'd up on the Biotin and started using the It's a 10 product with heavy conditioning treatments took me almost 4 months to recover now my hair looks great.

I started getting very tiny thin little re-growth around 12 months. It wasn't all back and to the original length and thickness until about 2 years post op.

I tried everything including keeping my Protein intake high, Biotin, Nioxin vits., Nioxin shampoo/conditioner, even Rogain. I really do not think any of it helped. I think it depends on what type of hair you have also. Mine is thin, straight, and baby fine.
