My VSG is scheduled for February 11th and I am so very excited but there's 1 thing that is haunting me. I have long thick beautiful blonde hair and I am so deathly afraid of it falling out is there anything that I can do to prevent this from happening

Biotin! I swear by it. I take Nature Made 5000mg one daily. Some of them on the market are horse pills, and this one is small about the size of a tic tac. Takes about two months for the levels to build up but it does wonders for hair, skin, and nails

I'm just so scared!!

I also take Biotin 1000mcg it's Cherry flavored and disolves, tastes great. Start taking them now, you will notice a difference in your nails immediately.

Yep. I'm a Nail Technocian and part owner of a hair salon. I recommend biotin to all my clients. I take 10,000 mg. extra strength once a day. My hair is growing like crazy.

I'm most concerned about my hair!!!

Make sure you get your protein in as well

I'm approved!!

I was also really worried about my hair. I did lose quite a bit, but it just became thinner. It really isn't something anyone but you will notice. It was totally worth it. I'm also taking Biotin and now it's starting to grow back, so it's not permanent. It doesn't happen to everyone, but if it does, it won't be as bad as you probably think.

I found it at Walmart.

And it's 10thousand milligrams not micrograms? Ill have to go look!!!

So if I take 5000 mcg is that enough?

No its 10,000mcg that converts to 10mg. I take 2 5,000 a day

Thanks, here I thought I was on track
