To women who had very thin hair pre-surgery...

I have extremely thin hair (on top) that runs in my family. My dad started going bald at 20 yrs old, my brother started going bald at 17 yrs old (they are both totally bald on top), my mom has very little hair on the top of her head, and my maternal grandma has worn a wig as long as I can remember. Now for me...I started losing my hair in my early 20's and at 34 it's not as thin as my mom's or grandma's, but I do have to part it on the side or else you can see my scalp right through my hair. Ok, now for the question...is there anyone with a similar situation that had WLS, and if so, did you go bald on top after surgery? At the risk of sounding vain, my hair is so thin now that I can't spare much and I'm really worried about the post-surgery hair loss. Thanks for any input :-)
