How much are you taking? Has it worked for you? I have been taking 4,000 MCG. Come to find out I need 1000 MCG to get 1 MG.

I've been taking biotin for one week. 2500 mcg twice a day. I'm still shedding but maybe now quite as much. I'm interested to know how long the difference might take.

I started taking 5000 mcg per day, two months prior to surgery. I'm almost 3 years out and still take Biotin two or three times a week. I never did lose my hair, who knows if it was the Biotin or I was just lucky, but I wanted to err on the side of caution!!

I fortunately have not lost any hair. My sister and I were sleeved on the same day, feb 6. She has started loosing hair. My family doc told me any surgery can cause hair loss. My sister has thick curly hair and mine is fine hair. It is not obvious that she has lost any. ????

I've been taking 5000mcg per day for the last 2 weeks. I haven't really noticed a difference. I'm about to start rogain for women. I had thick hair and I want to keep what I have. :-(

I'm taking 5000mcg per day. Other post-op patients in my Support Group told me it takes 4-6 weeks of takign the biotin to see it slow the hair loss/promote new growth, so be patient.

I'm still waiting to be sleeved but I have started to take biotin. I take 5000mcg a day and its in a dissolvable tablet you put under your tongue but I don't take it this way. The tablet is so small so I just swallow it. I don't like to put it under my tongue because for some reason I end up with bad facial pain for the rest of the day.

I'm taking Natrol Biotin 10,000 mcg and have been for 3 years. I'm set to be sleeved on July 15, 2013.

I'm also using Centrum Flavor Burst drink mix and I mix it with my shakes.
