Description

Eldar, Keidar, Abu-Abeid, and Maleckas survey religious fasting after weight loss surgery in Israel, in work from twenty twenty-four. Fasting carries deep religious meaning, but after metabolic and bariatric surgery the small stomach and changed gut raise safety questions. Guidance was unclear.

An online survey went to members of the Israeli society for this surgery field. It gathered surgeon views and practices on Jewish fasting after surgery. Topics in such a survey typically cover timing after surgery, fluid rules, and risk groups. Shared national practice can help patients honor faith duties without harming surgical recovery, a balance many patients must strike.
