      Your hair is going to fall out regardless....it's from rapid weight loss, changes in the body and all that fun stuff. I've always had hair loss due to anemia so I have been on biotin for years and it

    I don't even have a surgery date yet but I figured it couldnt hurt to start now. So I started January 1st. I don't know if it will work but oh well it's worth a try.

    It's supposed to help hair grow and strengthen nails. I've been reading a lot about after rny surgery your hair can start to fall out but I don't know if biotin actually works.

    My doctor (and the all knowing internet) told me that your hair will fall out regardless around the 3 month mark. However, the Biotin will help your hair look healthier and he recommended using volumizing shampoo. I started the Biotin right after surgery. I haven't lost any hair yet, but there's a definite improvement in how it looks and it's growing faster. Side bonus, my nails look fab, too! ^_^
