I am considering gastric bypass surgery, once of my concerns is losing my hair.

I am an African American who already has VERY thin hair. I have heard post-op, that patients tend to lose their hair. What can I do to minimize my hair loss, how long does it take to grow your hair back, and will I see growth in the areas that are VERY thin once my hair starts to grow again?
