I take 5,000 mcg Biotin daily. It can't hurt. (Not sure how much it helps, though, either). Not everyone will lose hair, but a lot of us do. I cut my hair into a short pixie (because I really wanted to but wouldn't do it when I was obese) and although it is thin I definitely am not bald. It is worth it for the way I feel alive again having lost so much weight!

I take Biotin 5000 mcg daily. I always get all my Protein in, but my hair fell out pretty badly. I'm 7 months out, and it's mostly stopped, though it still comes out a little faster than before surgery. I can see lots of new growth, but I imagine it's going to another 6 months before that gets long and thick enough to do any good. My hair wasn't very thick before surgery, and I think I might have lost about 1/3 -1/2, and I'm not bald either. However, I do have some areas where my scalp shows, so I've been using Bosley fibers, which work wonders to give the appearance of thicker hair.

Mine has been falling out about a month now. I cringe every time I wash or comb it. I've taken Biotin for years.. It really does help. Just hoping this shedding phase won't last much longer!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
