Bariatric Surgery Concerning the Tenth of Tevet

Question

I underwent bariatric mini-gastric bypass surgery a year and a half ago. Do I need to fast on the Tenth of Tevet?

Answer

Hello, 

The usual instruction in this situation is not to fast. 

However, if everything is fine, you may try to fast.
