Hair Loss

Does anyone have any experience with hair loss after bariatric surgery? I know it's inevitable but I'm looking for a realistic looking human hair topper that won't break the bank to give me some confidence until it grows back? I expected it to be like post partum hair loss but it's a lot thinner. I usually wear extensions too but the beads are visible so thought a topper would help to disguise them. Thanks in advance x

I'm not familiar with bariatric hair loss, only hair loss from a keto diet and a less calories/more exercise. Mine normally started 2-3mths after the weight loss, lasted a month or so then stopped. Mine was overall, so no large patches etc.

If yours is more, noticeable patches, I'd be worried you are deficient in something. Are you having regular blood tests to check for anaemia, thyroid, Vit D etc?

I don't know what a hair topper is? Like a toupee?
This company have reasonably priced wigs and hair extensions which seem good quality. I've used them for occasional type wigs for parties, but they were much better quality than say dress-up shop type ones.
