Vitamin to help hair loss



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what supplement you take to help thicken your hair to help with the Hair loss? I haven't had surgery yet but my nurse practitioner recommended I start taking something now but I can't remember what it is!!

It's Biotin. But it is not a sure remedy. If your body decides it needs to place Hair growth on hold, my understanding is, it will. But Biotin is supposed to help. I have been advised to wait until 4 weeks to start because I should not take anything that is not absolutely necessary until my pouch is completely healed. Makes sense!

I started Biotin immediately (three days after surgery), and because of my inability to drink Protein Shakes I was instructed to increase the mcg's to 10,000 per day instead of the normally recommended 5,000. I have it in both the dissolving and pill form, and haven't had a problem taking either. I'm only seven weeks out so haven't begun to lose my hair yet. I take several Vitamins a day in both pill form and Gummy form and have had no problems ingesting any of them.

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

      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! 😞
