BIOTIN

Please anyone jump in and let me know exactly what you know about how good it is for us.. THANKS!! Linda Kay

Don't know exactly how good it  is for us but my nails sure did grow.  And it seems like I have to shave my legs and arm pits every day now.  I even have to wax my eyebrows, lip, and chin about once a week. I  love how strong it has made my nails. Best wishes, Kim

I use Biotin but don't notice a lot of difference in my hair loss. I get it at Wally world for like 5.00 for a bottle.

I take 1000grams a day with all my vitamins daily, everyday since before surgery. I shouldn't lose too much hair. I take it faithfully!

I think it's pretty individual on how well it works for people. Some seem to think it is great, and some say it does nothing. I don't know. That's just a consensus from my observations here over 2 years. I would say, that I have never seen anyone say it's harmful, so If you want to take and try it, why not?

For me, when I had my RNY, I didn't know about Biotin and boy did I lose hair! I complained about it to the nuts and that was when they told me about biotin. I started using it and within 2-3 weeks I quit losing. I have been a constant taker of it every since. So..~4 years, 9 surgeries after the RNY one... I do start to lose hair about 3-4 months after each surgery..which I'm coming up on that from the hernia one.. but..if you put all the hair I've lost from all the other 9 surgeries in one pile and all the hair I lost from the RNY in another pile, the RNY pile would be WAY larger! So yes, I'm definately sold on Biotin!  Sherri

I just got some from walmart because im really losing my hair its real thin on top...eckkkkk so im hoping it helps

I lose hair like a mad woman all the time normally, and I can't tell right now if it's normal or not. I'm taking biotin, but my poor hairbrush is full every morning, and I shed all day. It looks as if I don't have too many thin spots, though I'm seeing more paleness in the area of my bangs than I would like too. I don't have any patches since my hair was super thick to start with. I just can't tell if I'm replacing the hair that I'm losing. I agree on the hair everywhere else. That stuff is growing like weeds. I have to shave much more frequently and religiously pluck/wax the facial hair.
