Hi, Try talking with your surgeon about Biotin injections. I am getting prepared for the sleeve revision surgery and I am concerned about hair loss, but the office offers couple different types of Vitamin injections you can due weekly or monthly etc depending on what the doc recommends;)

Never heard of Biotin injections....

Have they actually been proven beneficial? Been using the pills, 7

Mos out and while the loss has slowed, it is still there. Blessed to have had a ridiculous amount of hair preop so to others not noticeable. To me, however, it has been way more than I anticipated.

Only benefit? Takes 10 min to dry with a dryer versus the prior- preop 35-40 min.

I had never heard of them either prior to my new doc office. My Wellness coordinator said they are amazing she actually had the sleeve and has had the Vitamin shots and the Biotin shot she says they work great so I'm thinking heck it's worth a try!!! I was told if the doctor prescribes them to you then the insurance should cover them if not they're about $200 per shot that's at my doctor's office. I'll take a picture and post it so you can read about it.

Try Pre-natal Vitamins they have all the vitamins the body needs and also has vitamins for the hair, nails and skim. I bought mines at Amazon. They are liquid vitamins since im only 5 days post op but they told me they work great!!
