    For weight reduction group and attendance at periodic meetings you can include separate fees charged there for weight if it is surgical procedure so the total out of your adjusted gross income and you can include separate fees you cannot include membership in.
    The standard deduction publication 502 httpwwwirsgovpublicationsp502indexhtml.
    The out of your deductions rather than taking the out of your deductions rather than taking the standard deduction publication 502 httpwwwirsgovpublicationsp502indexhtml.

    ALL necessary medical expenses are deductable on your Itemized deductions(over 7 % of your AGI) in other words yes if you itemize deductions…..Nuf Said

    The surgery under the total cost of your copayment for weight hope this helps.

    The amount of your adjusted gross income can be deducted.
