So, did you claim every medical expense given you had more than 7% of your income (I'm assuming because that's the rule right?). Since I got my 7% in January should I be saving every medical after that to claim?

You will be in great hands. Just be easy on yourself. It will hurt but should be under control. I was amazed at how many abdominal muscles I needed to just pee. A higher toilet seat was a god send. Their 24 hr care is wonderful.Don't hesitate to call if you are having issues.

How did surgery go? Hopefully post-op is going well thus far.
For what it's worth, you should be able to declare reconstructive surgery on your taxes as the IRS allows for repair after disfigurement due to disease and obesity is classified as a disease.
So that allow for recouping some of the costs.
