Make sure all of you US self-payers, bring in all of your medical bills when processing your taxes this year. I am actually getting a nice refund and although I have other things that are contributing to that, my accountant said that it was definately a good thing to have all of those expenses factored in.

Love my band - have a good weekend!

Now THAT's a NSV if ever there was one! Good for you!

Indeed!!

I was refunded $4,000 extra this year, only because of my medical bills with the band (self-pay).

Yeah, glad to hear some good news for self payers!

Don't forget to include all your other medical and pharmacy expenses with the lapband payment too!! Even if it doesn't have anything to do with the band at all because of the amount you will be able to add the additional expenses and get a better refund. All medical and dental can be included!!!

Yep, I got a nice chunk o' change back in my return! Ran right out and bought clothes!:thumbup:
