Problems Post-op Fasting during Ramadan - Muslims

I'm posting this for a friend who had WLS over a year ago. She is muslim and she is trying to fast for Ramadan. Which means no eating or drinking (not even water) from Sun up til Sunset. For other women's health related reasons she did not begin the fast til this past Saturday. Today she felt the beginning of a UTI urinary track infection so she broke the fast. She was wondering how other muslims who have had WLS have faired with their fasting. Any problems, did your dr say it was ok. I believe her dr said it was OK to try.
