Any Canadians in here that have claimed WLS on income tax?

Hi - just wondering if this is indeed a medical expense. WLF Medical in Mexico is where I'm considering going for surgery (wait is SO long in Canada). I'd like to know if I can claim the surgery as well as travel expenses hopefully. WLF Medical website says it's a line 330 medical expense - would like to know this for sure before I depend on that. Thanks!

My doc said it was tax medical expense, but I had my surgery in Canada, don't know about Mexico surgery

I see you just had your surgery. How are you doing? Are things going well? Happy you went ahead with it? And finally - how long was your wait for surgery?

Surgery was ok, I'm doing very well, healing pretty well also. Just got back to work today. Very happy I had the procedure even though I'd give anything to have a bite of a Poutine right now. As for my initial consult to Surgery date

I had my first talk withmy Doctor on June 3 and my surgery was on June 27 (self paid). one night at the clinic, and 1 and a half day in a hotel near clinic with round the clock nurse care.

Really? In Canada? Where are you? June 3 initial visit and June 27 surgery? How much did you pay? I didn't think we had that ability in Canada (to pay out of pocket). Interested to hear more! Good to hear you're doing well - poutine! One of the best and worst foods ever! lol
