If memory serves, our income taxes were reduced a little over $3000 because of the medical deduction for the procedure. We didn't deduct travel, lodging or food. If we had that wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway.

Thanks. I think it probably won't make much of a difference for most people here, but since I'm getting so many levels done, and my surgery is nearly 80k, we should essentially get every single tax dollar back, so it is worth it if you are getting that many levels done. It works out to around 25% or so, which is still better than 0%.
