Seems like hair loss is just inevitable. From what I've seen on here everyone looses it even after taking biotin. So should I even take it?

My doctor said it doesn't help.

I take it daily. I hope it helps, but at least my nails look great now

Ive been taking it since the beginning and Im 6 months out. I honestly couldnt tell you if it helped my hair loss or not. I lost A LOT of hair but thankfully I had lots of hair. Just when it started to get so thin that I was panicking about it, its subsided. Now for the dreaded re-growth. It certainly wont hurt to take it since it does improve other things like nails and skin but I couldnt tell you if it helped. Target has it cheap, something like $5 a bottle for 500mg capsules.

I didn't take it, but best friend did and honestly we both lost lots of hair. I don't think it made a difference. Thank god at 8 months its stopped falling out.

I started taking Biotin, 4.99 at walmart (a months supply "Hair, Skin, and Nails"ison the label), a month before surgery date. I plan to continue taking them post op and see if it works. Another poster said they wish they would of taken it a month before surgery date. I thought I would. I will post a few month post op if it helps.

I've been taking it for several months. My nails are long and healthy. My skin looks good. My hair is falling out. My sister is a hairdresser and showed me today where it is thinning. And I'm stalled. Doesn't make for a happy sleeve.

I think it works I started taking it 3 mos per surgery and my hair grew and was much thicker. I expect some hair loss but hopefully the extra I grew will even it all out.

^{I personally swear by biotin. I tell you, it DOES help my hair to grow faster. I know there is technically no scientific proof, but I know it works for me. Also, the total overall health of my hair is better. Shinier, softer, stronger...I love taking it. I've never heard of hair falling out AFTER taking biotin...hmmm...I'll have to look into it. My personal opinion would be to try it since it's not pricey & I agree that it's helpful to skin & nails also. :-)}

well... my hair is very thin and fell out a LOT after my last surgery (not related to sleeve) so I started taking it a month prior to surgery. I haven't noticed any difference EXCEPT..... my eye brows are thicker and I'm getting hairs on my chin and moustache. Thinking about stopping it... but then... I've never had a beard before... so might just see what it's like!

I have been taking the Biotin from the beginning of my journey. My hair loss at 4 months out was really freaking me out. My hairdresser advised me to keep taking the Biotin because she could see the regrowth where I could not. I believe it has helped. My doctor has told me that my hair should start coming back by the time I am a year out from my surgery. It will be a year in September. I can already tell that it is thickening back up. Thank the Lord! I also use organic coconut oil twice a week to help it grow faster too.

I'm really scared. My hair is sooooo fine and thin. I already have trouble with it. I'm nearly 5 weeks post op and I've noticed my hair has become really dry too. None has fallen out yet but I'm scared that's the next phase and that will mean bald spots .

Can you get the Biotin in Australia?
