Biotin?

I am 16 months out and have been taking Biotin since my RNY (Feb 21, 2008).  My hair thinned out for the first several months but is now back to normal.  Should I continue taking the Biotin or is it okay to stop taking it now.  I get plenty of protein and the hair loss has stopped.  Thankfully my hair is back to the way it was before.  

Anyone have any opinions on this.  I hate to continue taking anything that I can live without or really don't need anymore.  I already take enough pills as it is.

Hi Sandy my hair is still thin. I still take mine. Its been 2 years. I am in hope my hair grows back thick. Have a great night.Ellen

I stopped taking mine a little while ago, (I was taking the hair, nails and skin pills which are Biotin), but I am going to start back with them because my nails are peeling and spliting which they have never done before.

Protein and Calcium are your nails Carmen accordng to my Dr ,,,Take 1200-1500 md of Calcium plus D Citracal and lots of protein daily and you should see a bid difference in both according to my internal med Dr .

I take calcium citrate, but I may not be taking enough and I do not take plus D.  I will get some of that.   I do protein shakes and bars and I think I get a good bit of protein.  I need to add it up each day though.  Thanks so much, Shirley!!!

I too was taking the Biotin 5000 mcg and my hair and nails were growing like a weed... I stopped taking them and my nails started getting really thin.  I think I'm going to pick back up and start taking mine rite now...
