Has anyone else started taking Biotin? I'm pre-op but does it help to keep some hair from falling out?

I have been taking it and it hasn't helped with the hair lose. The doctor said it won't do anything and that it's a "good" sign when your losing hair. I didn't agree.

It doesn't stop your hair from falling out...nothing really will. Even eating a ton of Protein I still lost tons but it helps tremendously with regrowth of new hair...I started taking it 2 months post op started losing hair 3 months post op but just as I was losing I was regrowing. I am 7 1/2 months post op now and just stopped losing so much hair but Biotin has kept it coming back and thickened it all. I went month 4 and had highlights put in to disguise some of the loss and that helped a lot too. Its all part of the journey it doesn't last forever

I've been taking it since before surgery. I lost a lot of hair....maybe would have lost more without it? I/m not sure, but not taking chances. It definitely did not prevent Hair loss, though.

I take Biotin and I am preop. I have noticed that I don't lose as much hair. My hair & skin feels and looks a lot better though.

I have been taking Biotin for over a year now. I have had thin hair for a long time. It has helped me. I am 3 months post op and and so far, have not had much Hair loss, although I have heard about 4 months is the usual time frame. It has helped my skin and nails a great deal. I have thin nails as well and I have seen a major difference in them since about 6 months after I started using it.

Can someone recommend a good source for Biotin, and any brands you prefer?

I love The Nature's Bounty brand. It's 5,000 meg of Biotin so just one per day is all that is needed and the pill is tiny. Just a tad smaller than a Benedryl. I get them at CVS when they are BOGO.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
