Tisha B'Av after Stomach Surgery
Question
Hello,
I underwent a mini gastric bypass surgery a month and a half ago, and the doctors forbid fasting due to the risk of ulcers and stomach adhesions. I also cannot prepare my body for fasting as the amounts I can eat and drink are very small. Should I fast on Tisha B'Av?
Answer
Hello
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi David Fried, shlita:
In this situation, you should not fast.
