Hi! I am Edgar and right now facing two problems simultaneously. One is my extremely increased weight and other is the amount I am spending for loosing it. Both dietary modifications and drugs have not been successful in my case. So I am going for the Bariatric surgery, but the second problem comes into action. Is there any way where I can show my reconstructive surgery for tax deduction or as a business expense? Please help.

Bariatric surgery is a good option and as far as you are concerned of how to write off your weight loss expenses as business expenses I would suggest you to go for the ‘Make It Your Business (Literally) To Lose and Maintain Your Weight’ report. It is available on iworkformyhealth website. It contains many examples and stories that have guided me in setting up a legitimate business to support a healthy lifestyle. I used my medical reimbursement plan for savings.

It has helped me in writing my weight loss expenses, travel expenses and education fees as business expenses following the IRS guidelines. I am sure this will help you too.
