I had surgery 10/3, i have not lost any hair yet, but i am worried about taking botin because i hear that some people start growing hir in weird places (ie face etc) should i be nervous? I have read it on other foums.......confused.....

My surgeon says theres no evidence Biotin helps. Hair loss is a normal process of wls. Your body resets itself and when it does, al hairs need to shed and regrow. Sorta like how a bird molts and then looks gorgeous!

I started to taking it months ago and did notice my hair grow. It may not prevent my hair from falling out but it may help with hair growth.
