Does Biotin helps on the hair lost??

As far as I know, there are no scientific data that supports that Biotin helps the Hair loss.

Knowing this, I still take it..lol..I'm hoping it will help the hairs that's growing in to be healthy.

I hear I'm gonna lose some hair after this surgery. Will this be enough hair to be an excuse to buy and wear wigs? How much hairloss are we talking here?

I already lost like 50 to 65℅ of my hair. But I used to have hair for 3 more people Jajajaja. I'm 5 months out, the Dr. Told me to drink Biotin and fish oil. I cut it short short to deal with it, now I just comb it with my hands.

Btw I think is going to be fun if I buy a wig.

My hair is falling out like crazy. You can see scalp now. I feel like crying. My hair was already thin as it was.

I'm so scared to loose my hair! It's always been the one thing I get complimented on. It's the one thing that has helped me to feel a little bit attractive. It has to be the one thing that terrifies me the most about the surgery. :'(

I'm at five months now; still losing hair. My stylist says I've lost about 50%. I had a lot to start with, so it's not too bad, but I can totally tell. She says it should slow down soon. Fingers crossed. I cut about three inches off, blunted it on the ends, and that's helped make it look a little fuller. Not much else I can do. She did say I have a ton of new growth, though. So at least there's that!

I'm 5 months out ;My hair came out in clumps today and made me tear up. Never worn a wig before so today was the first day of many until my hair returns, if it ever does.

For those who are/have lost hair......did you feel your scalp tingle/hurt?

I don't notice my hair falling out.........I'm 2 months out and noticing my scalp tingling/hurtting a little.......

I try not to think of the possible hair loss---I already have thin hair

It's weird that you say this because I had that. It's like my scalp is tender or something. I also had some dry scalp issues. I'm using a Tea Tree shampoo/conditioner and that has helped. I was attributing the tender scalp to sunburn, maybe? since I was in the sun a lot and my hair is so much thinner.

I started losing hair at about 2 1/2 months and I'm coming up on 5 months now. It seems like the Hair loss is slowing down. God I hope it's not just wishful thinking! I had a lot of hair to begin with so it's not really noticable to others, but I can really tell that it's not as thick as it used to be. I just got it cut and got bangs which makes it easier to hide. Stylist said she saw lots of "sprouts: lol! So at least I know it's growing back. Looking at the positive!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
