I just had a visit with the dermatologist and discussed Telogen Effluvium with her. She told me to make sure I’m getting my MVI with iron, vitamin D and my protein goals met, because it does make a difference in hair loss. As far as switching from chewable, my bariatric team encourages chewable due to better absorption. Unfortunately, the stress of surgery has this effect. I’ve been going through it myself with only small gains in hair growth at 14 months post surgery.
