How much Biotin is everyone taking post-op? I don't want to take too much or too little.

I take 10,ooo mcg daily or 10mg. It basically helps with hair regrowth, skin and nails. My hair grows fast in the wrong place too! LOL ;)

I take GNC Dry capsules, 5,000mcg 4x per week. However, during rapid Hair loss I was taking one daily. I've taken other brands as well, and I've found this brand and dose to be the absolute best.

Biotin does not discriminate. It will make hairs every where on your body grow. It has caused an increase in growth in my pubic area, under arms, chin, and eyebrows. ;)

Me too! Thank goodness I'm naturally a non hairy person, thanks to my Asian roots - but I have noticed my hair I do have is coming in thicker and I'm having to shave more often than I used to.

I guess its a good trade off for having even more splendid hair on my head! Not only that, my skin is looking really great and my nails grow faster and thicker as well.

My NUT told me to take 2000 mcg a day. She said if you take more than that it's a waist of money because you just lose it in your urine. IDK, I've only been taking it for two weeks.

I'm worried now on losing my hair as I'm on a clear liquid diet now for 4 weeks (due to complicaitons and issues from my original surgery on 3/5). I can't quite get the Protein bullets down (they are disgusting) and prior to surgery, I've taken Biotin for a long time. I'll have to go back to it (as I've slacked) and check out the mcgs.

Thanks for all of your inputs on this subject and I have to say to "The *Coasting* Super Moderator, holy cow your before and after pix. Wow. Good luck to you all on this journey and thank you for your input!

Thanks for the information. At least I have an idea what everyone else is taking.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
