In my preparation for the sleeve I am going to get some Biotin tablets, but wondered those who took it, how long did you take it for?

Just until you could manage to get the right amount of Protein?

Or longer?

Did you take it before surgery too?

I have got this right - haven't I? That it comes in capsules or tablet form, and presumably I'm better off getting the tablets so I can crush them?

Thanks in advance....

I dont know how long we're supposed to take it. I guess a few months... till we get past the Hair loss scare. I found a chewable Biotin by "Solaray" and its sugar free.< /p>

I wish I would have taken it before surgery, and wish I would have been more diligent in taking it post-op. The Protein won't guarantee that you won't lose. There's a few members around here that got in all of their Protein plus some from the beginning and still lost hair.

I think my regrowth would have been even stronger if I would have taken it the Biotin on a regular basis. I had hair growing back in before the shedding stopped, but I bet it would have been better if I would have been more pro-active with the Biotin.< /span>

Thanks - I realise I'll prob loose it, but anything I can do to help prevent it, or as you say Tiff, to try and aid regrowth will be better.

Stcyt - I'll have to have a look out for the chewable ones....I think I am going to have to order them from the UK online anyway, as can't seem to find them here in Spain.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
