Lap Band and Yom Kippur

[suetigg2 0]

Hello, as some of you know Yom Kippur is in a few days. I had the band 4 months ago and was wondering how to go about the holiday. Do I fast? can I fast? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sue

I did last year I had my band less than a month, just be careful when you start eating and drinking to take your time...I would start with a cup of tea, or something warm to open you up more...

Check with your doctor first. You can be excused from fasing ffor medical reasons--I had a snack during YK when I was pregnant. God understands

I completely agree. I'm not planning on fasting ... a month out and I'm barely eating as it is. I'm thinking of this as an extended fast :thumbup:

I was only three days post op and I fasted it was the easiest fast I have ever had. And for those who are extremly religous its not really an option not to fast.

I'm not extremely religious, and still would and did fast, I personally wouldn't want to take a chance....
