I lost no hair, and as a matter of fact my hair is better than it has ever been. My hair got really funky when I was perimenopausal/menopausal now it is back to normal.

All I have to say. I would have a smaller ass than a lot of hair on my head. You can always buy a hair piece.

And that smaller ass will make your hair look bigger.

Thanks everyone for your replies.  You are giving me hope!  I'm extra worried about it, not only because I have little to lose to begin with, but because the surgery threw me into menopause.  I've not had a menstrual cycle since my RNY, and since I'm 53 it's likely never coming back.  (Blood tests next week will either confirm or deny that.)  

We were warned in class that if you are post-menopausal to expect the hair-loss to be worse.  So, I'm fearful of the "double-whammy" that's likely headed my way.

Thanks again for your help and for letting me stress out here.  Please keep a hopeful thought for me!

Just prepare yourself - from what I've read on here and what I've experienced in my local bariatric support group, only about 10% of people report no noticeable hair loss.  Most people will lose some and a few - like me - will lose a lot!  

I had fine, thinning hair before surgery and lost half of it.  Super noticeable, bare spots.  Actually bought a wig but couldn't go through with wearing it.  At two years out my hair is back to where it was before.  However, in 3 weeks I'll be having a lower body lift so I'm mentally preparing myself for lots of shedding again
