I am happy to see other Muslims on this site! I am not banded yet, but I will be right after Ramadan. I never thought about fasting with the band. I"ll have almost a year before I have to worry about that, so PLEASE post about Ramadan and its effects with the band, so I can be prepared for next year. BTW, I am going to Dr Ortiz in Mexico, any thoughts? Anyone else wen to Mexico?
