To get qualified you will most likely need to prove you have back issues- that can either be from your general physician, a chiropractor, etc. and you will need to show that you have tried conservative therapy to help the pain. The magic number usually for insurance to approve is 500g of tissue- my doctor said that would take me from a 38DD to a c so since your band is wider I am sure you would qualify if you aren't severely obese (sometimes that is a factor in approval)
I am in the approval process now- I had chiropractor records from 8 years (since I was 16) that the surgeon is using and I didn't get a referal from the family doctor just called the surgeon and scheduled the consult. My family doctor is out of state (relocated for medical school) and just changed practices so she couldn't pull my records and I am using student health now so it just didn't make sense.
My surgeon said he had only had 2 people in 8 years not qualify with insurance if he felt like they did so I am pretty confident that this summer (after I take my boards) I can get the procedure done.
