This thread is from the VSG forum but it has a lot of good points that emphasizes the importance of not drinking with your meals that would apply to any surgery type.

Just wanted to let you guys know about a wonderful product (that even Dr Oz talked about on his show). It's called Toppik and it is sort of like a microfibre that you sprinkle on your head wherever you have scalp showing. It clings to your hair and really works at filling in the gaps. I feel so much better about how I look after using this.

It comes in 8 shades, if one of them does not match your hair, you can buy 2 different colours to combine. It is not cheap, it ranges in price from $27 to $89 depending on size, you probably don't need the giant size one, your hair will have grown back before you can use it all. I got the large economy size for $49, suppose to last 75 days. There are products they sell to spray on your hair before and after but I don't think they are necessary, seems to work fine and stay on without it.

You may be able to get it cheaper on eBay or somewhere in the states. I bought it from a Canadian site www.fabove.ca.

I highly recommend it.

I've also bought a scalp colouring product from the Shopping Channel, it was cheap and worked to tone down the contrast between hair and scalp but I would definitely go with Toppik if you can afford it.
