I'm 2 months post op and started taking Biotin a few weeks ago. I haven't seen any hair loss so far. I was just curious to know when or if it started for you?

I have had my band for almost 7 months and I have not had any hair loss.

I think it really depends on a lot of factors. Maybe you'll just get lucky and it won't happen to you. I also think the more rapid the weight loss the more likely the hair loss. I lost 100lbs in six months so I definitely noticed the hair loss. Once the weight loss stopped so did the hair loss.

MIne started shortly after surgery, but has slowed down quite a bit now. I'm six months post-op.

Do they have liquid biotin because I wanted to start taking it now. I'm 5 days post op !

i noticed some loss around 2 to 4 months

but my dr when i asked said the protein will help with this

i do not take biotin but eat alot of protein to counter..

like guy said, maybe you wont.....but if you do, it most likely

wont be much or for long

I do not recall having much hair loss, but then again when I get a haircut often times they will thin my hair.

I noticed it starting about a month after surgery.

If you eat nutritiously, get in lots of Protein, stay hydrated, and keep with Biotin chances are good you won't have the hair loss since you haven't already.

Mine started around 3 mths post op and it was at my 3rd fill a few weeks ago. I am losing A LOT now. Really focusing on high protein but may start biotin this week.

Does anyone know of any drug interactions Biotin might have with beta blockers?

I've started taking Biotin a few months back, along with some extra vitamins. Hoping it will help, along with my diet etc! Best Wishes that you just don't have any hair loss at all!

im almost 6 months out and I never had the hair loss, I started biotin before my surgery also...

5 months post op and it just started. Karma in my case. Got a little too big for my britches (did not intend to make a joke) and told someone I was not losing my hair. The next day I combed out several clumps. Oh, Karma was just waiting for me to stick my foot in my mouth.

I never had it come out in clumps but it was just a hair here or a hair there. Enough for me to notice in a hat or on a comb but not enough to notice on my head. One disclaimer is that I don't have a ton of thick fur up there in the first place. Lol.
