Hi Kathy

I take the Trader Joes 1000MCG. I was borderline diabetic prior to WLS but my

numbers have been good so far. I have another blood work scheduled for Monday.

Speaking of that does anyone have the workup that should be done ?

Thanks

hi thanks for your input

i am asking you specifically if you know about

how long it takes to notice a difference ? Did

you notice how long it took for any sign of

improvement with the tingling beginning to

disappear ?

thanks,

hi melissa

the hair loss is a real tough one, i had people tell me that the biotin

didn't help, that really nothing helped, so i said fine i wont take anything,

but

one day one of the very same people that said oh that wont help any, told

someone else oh take BIOTIN... blah blah blah,,, i was so frustrated but said

the heck with it, i am going to try it .. so i went to walmart and purchased a

bottle of Biotin 1000 mcg and i take 2 tablets twice a day, In just a few

days it made a major difference.. unless it just is PURELY coincidence I am not

wrong. I do not have much hair loss now .. it is almost as good as before

surgery. So maybe you can read into Biotin... ( like is there problems with TOO

much biotin ) and then increase your intake. The bottle at Walmart was not

at all expensive .. the brand is called Spring Valley.

I am no expert but just wanted to let you know my experience. Hair is a big

issue for me.. i Love my hair, it is long and i hope to keep it long.

Kat and All

You know Im really frustrated by this B12 info. Because my surgeons office also

lead me to believe that we should take it only once a week and that it can be

dangerous to take more. I had the tingling in my feet early on which stopped

about 6 weeks out. But now for it seems like whats been forever my spine has

that same tingling sensation. Right now what I take is OptiSource multi vitami

4x a day Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate x 2 a day, Biotin 600mcg x a day

(which by the way isnt helping cuz Im convinced I will be bald soon). ANd the

B12 sublinglinal 1 a week. I must say since reading all these messages Im

taking it daily. But my concern is why are there DRs out there telling us

different ? Scary....

Thanks so much...I will check Walmart out for that brand. Me being the girly

girl that I am it freaks me out everytime I wash and more hair is falling out.
