If you take this, How much do you take? I've been taking it since before my surgery (8 months) and take 10,000 mcg, however I read a post the other day and they were taking two 10,000 mcg per day. Just curious.

I take 5000 mcg twice a day, well I try to take it twice a day but sometimes miss the nighttime dose. I began taking it about 2 months before surgery - so far so good, hair loss minimal :)

I was taking 5,000 mcg until about two weeks ago. I started taking 10,000 mcg then. I had VSG on 11/08/2013. Not sure yet if it's helping but I've noticed Hair loss recently so I'm hoping it helps.

5000 mcg a day but now I'm considering upping that to 10,000 mcg a day. I didn't know it was safe to take such high of a dose? but so many on here seem to take 10,000 mcg a day without any problems.

Natures Bounty has a great Vitamin that contains Biotin, it's for hair, nails and skin. I take 15,000. a day.

There is 5000 in one pill, but recommended in 3 pills per day.

It is working, never had nails before and hair is growing back.

I take two 10,000mcg a day too, and have stronger nails than ever before! I was to the hair dresser the other week, and she said she sees the new growth coming in - I have lost some, but my hair length has also been on overdrive, so its compensated for it somewhat.

I take 10,000 mcg daily and I am 4 month post op and hair loss is next to none..just the usual strand here and there when styling. My nails grow like crazy.

I take 10, 000 mcg a day & my hair is still falling out like crazy. I have bald spots & have to be careful how I style my hair. It started falling out when I was 3 mths po & I am now just over 7 mths po & praying it stops or at least slows down some soon. I get huge handfuls in the shower & my brushes everyday. But I know it will grow back & it is a minor upset to deal with along my journey.

I take 10,000 a day. It didn't stop my hair from falling out but has helped with regrowth. I have a ton coming back in, I'm a year out.

I'm over a year out and I've been taking 5,000 and it honestly really hasn't helped. Now that I know it's safe to take 10,000 I'm going to up my dose. My hair is so thin and you can practically see my scalp in front, I have to part it way to the side :( thanks for the info all!

      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
