Does anybody know if WLS is tax deductible for 2002?

I found this on www.fatlikeus.com: It's Official! Weight Loss Programs are now Tax Deductible As of today (April 3rd, 2002) the IRS says that since obesity is now classified as a disease, any weight loss attempts such as weight loss and exercise programs are tax deductible. I went to the IRS website and could not find information, but that doesn't say much because its very confusing. Does anyone know if the Weight Loss Surgery is tax deductible for 2002? If so, what are the requirements? Thanks, Marilyn
