Biotin?

OK - what is this hair loss bit? Am I going to go bald?? Dream on - I have thick hair? What is going to cause this happening?? And what is BIOTIN? OK - another question - how do I get the little guys in my e-mail. I tried typing the message emotions and nothing happened???? Darlene

Hi Darlene, Hair loss is a very common (most common) side effect from having GASTRIC BYPASS. Your body develops malabsorbtion issues and does not always absorb all of the protien needed which casuses hair loss. In order to help lesson this effect you can up your protien and take a supplemental vitamin called Biotin. I've been taking this since the day I had surgery. My hair is my "trademark" I'd die if it fell out!! Megan

Hello! I have not taken Biotin yet but now I wonder if I should.... Have any of you noticed any hair loss? Kristen
