Sooo I was at the Vitamin shop earlier getting some essential oils and I happened upon the Biotin - I grabbed a bottle of the 1000mcg capsules. The bottle says 1 a day, so should I stick with that or should I do 2? Anybody have any insights/experience?

The ones I take are 5,000. They really haven't done anything, but I take them anyway. I guess I am afraid to find out what would happen with no Biotin.< /p>

I take 1000 Biotin every day, along with my super B. I "think" my hair has stopped falling out; it seems to be more closely tied to my thyroid medication and not the B Vitamins, but I'm with Oregon Daisy--don't want to see what happens if I stop it. :-)

I've been taking 5000 mcg 2 x per day. I think the hairloss would be worse if I didn't take all these Vitamins & supplements. I love how my eye lashes are longer. I'll try anything. I even got some doo gro but I dont think I can handle the smell.

I was just lookin at Doo Gro online and went to my local Sally's Beauty Supply. All they had was the Hair growth oil and the lady said it would be really oily in my hair. She said to try http://www.wildgrowth.com/ so i am trying it. She had lap band surgery a year ago and looks great. She also suggested sally's version of nioxin called nutri-ox. I am (hair) thin from a procedure I had done in january so i am trying anything i can. Even looking at that powder you pu on your white skull to make it look fuller. Hoping the other stuff works..

I read somewhere that overdosage of Biotin is not a problem, because it is Water soluable and can be easily removed by the kidneys. You may want to check with your doc to confirm.

      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!
