I've heard that Biotin for hair, skin and nails is good to help that and I started taking it a few weeks ago, my eyelashes are growing long, I didn't believe it either they've always been so short, no need for fake ones now, not that I could learn how to put them on anyhow lol.

No way to avoid it. The biotin doesn't keep it from falling out, it helps to grow back stronger.

10 months???

I don't think everyone looses there hair

I think it depends on the pp

I've lost a lot of hair,I will start taking biotin. Only 10 months,have 5 more to go.

I've heard there is less risk for hair loss on sleeve - that it is more common with bypass??

I attended my Orientation meeting last week and the topic of hair loss came up. The Dr said not all will lose hair, some may lose more than others and some may not lose hair at all. I asked about Biotin and the Dr said it definately helps with hair growth and she recommends Biotin to her patients.

I have some hair loss with menopause but also want to be proactive about hair loss after I get sleeved. So, I ordered some Biotin from Amazon and began taking it two days ago. I'm taking 5,000 mcg per day for the first week then starting next week I'm going to take 10,000 mcg's per day from then on.

I'm curious to see if I notice a difference.
