I am 50 and have female pattern baldness. I can relate to your concern. Last year I backed out of surgery because of the hair loss side effect. I was afraid of my hair not growing back, and needing to wear a wig. Now it's a year later and I'm waiting for my surgery date. I decided that I'd be better off healthy, wearing a wig, than morbidly obese with thinning hair.
Good luck with your decision.
