So I just read an article that indicated that weight loss tools (including lapband surgery) are tax deductible as long as they are medically necessary for obesity and/or other medical issues...I'm pretty excited about that! Just thought I would share in case anyone else didn't know.

Yes, that is something my surgeon pointed out at the seminar. Save all the receipts from your pre-op release, through surgery; surgeon, anethesia, hospital bills etc. and deduct all of it including prescriptions and other related costs too. Even though my insurance covered most of it, I still deducted my portion...every little bit helps!

Ohh I forgot about that!
