The cost of obesity is too high.
The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services reports that the annual costs of being obese are 15 times higher than overweight people. The cost of obesity for women and men is $4,879 and $2,646, respectively. Most of these costs go toward medical bills, as obesity-related chronic illnesses include cardiovascular disease and Type II Diabetes, both of which carry a hefty price tag in prescription medications.
Hidden costs include paying higher prices for clothes, shoes, and travel, as well as job-related costs, like lost wages and opportunities. Statistics show that women are disproportionately affected by said job-related costs.
Morbid obesity is a complex metabolic illness that is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. The principal focus of our South Florida bariatric procedures and medical weight management is to treat morbid obesity and its associated diseases (cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, fatty liver disease, among others). Benefits of weight loss surgery and medical weight management include feeling more positive about your appearance. It’s important to understand that these procedures and treatments are medically driven.

Is bariatric surgery tax deductible?
The gastric bypass, Lap-Band, and gastric sleeve weight loss procedures qualify as medical expenses to claim on your tax return. The cost of the surgery, medical weight loss treatments, as well as FDA-approved medications are tax deductible as long as your general practitioner confirms, in writing, that your current weight is a threat to your health.
Expenses to deduct don’t include gym memberships or grocery shopping expenses. Legitimate expenses include physician fees, psychological and behavioral counseling, registered dietitian nutritionist fees, FDA-approved medications, surgical procedures, etc.
To qualify for a deduction, bariatric surgery and medical weight management program costs must exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. For instance, if you make $50,000, you can deduct weight loss expenses exceeding $3,750. Contact your CPA or tax advisor to find out how you can deduce the costs of bariatric procedures and FDA-approved weight loss medications.
