Question
Someone who has undergone gastric sleeve surgery, are they required to fast on fast days?
Answer
In the first year after the surgery, one does not fast on other fast days. Regarding Yom Kippur, one should consult a rabbi. It is important to obtain the doctor's opinion in advance, and sometimes also tests, so do not wait until the last moment to clarify the ruling. For the second year, consult a rabbi.
