How important is the length of your hair in loss amounts?

I had very short hair most of my life. In the last (maybe) 3 years I have let it grow out. I have thin hair and was not sure how it would look long. But, I LOVE IT LONG! Now I see that hair loss is a distinct possibility with my WLS. How much more hair can be lost if I try to keep my hair long? Would putting it up (say under a hat) help me keep my hair?? Please, help if you can, This is a big fear for me. And, Thank you.
