If Biotin increases hunger.... It makes sense! I have to eat every 2-3 hours. Well my dr suggests it and I thought I'm just used to it. But dang that makes sense!!!!

Thanks for sharing I had no idea!!!

FYI - Biotin INCREASES hunger. Not only have I experienced it' date=' it's a proven side effect - I will NOT take Biotin.

I am so pissed about my hair - I had this happen 2x in my life in the past 20 years. I have tried anything in the past to no avail. I really thought it wasn't going to happen.[/quote']

Maybe it won't increase your hunger. It hasn't for me..maybe it doesn't effect red heads! I also take B12. I had Hair loss when my b12 was low. I'm never Hungry and still have to set my alarm to remind me to eat. Try the biotin Shampoo

Any guys out there dealing with this? I have pretty short hair so any loss is going to jump out. I definitely would trade it for being healthier but I will take all steps possible to minimize.

for some reason i thought Hair loss would not happen to me because i am african american..

.not! lol! i have lost a lot of hair, more like thinning, length is still there but it is thin. This has been going on for 3 months now and i am 7 months out. I'm hoping it thickens up once the thinning episode ends.

I had crazy hair loss! It slowed down after 6 months. This is the first I have heard about the Biotin causing hunger, but my doc told me biotin does not prevent Hair loss, it only helps the strength of Hair growth. I take it because I am desperate for healthy and full hair again! Lol

Mine started at 3 months, I'm 4 months now. I thought I was prepared for it, and its way worse than I could have imagined. I'm afraid I'm gonna have bald spots on my scalp soon. I'm a hairstylist so this is my world!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
