Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I heard somewhere that if you pay out of pocket it can be deducted. I'm not sure though. Your local H & R block, or if you have your own accountant, should be able to answer that question. -- Surgery tax deductable? I'm wondering if anyone here knows if lap band/gastric by pass can be deductable from taxes? Thank you, Kem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 If the surgery and medical bills are more than 7%(don't quote me on that percentage) of your income it is tax deductable.
