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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
