Article Synopsis
- - Ramadan fasting is a significant Islamic practice, but patients with a history of metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) may face unique risks, highlighting the need for better guidance and recommendations regarding fasting safety.
- - An international survey involving 21 medical centers across 11 countries identified 132 patients who experienced complications while fasting post-MBS, with upper gastrointestinal (GI) issues being the most common.
- - Complications such as GERD, abdominal pain, and dumping syndrome were reported, and surgical intervention was required for a small percentage of patients; hence, it's crucial to inform MBS patients about potential risks during fasting and to review their medications.
