I'm a 38G/H, insurance requires min 819g per breast removed to cover. About what size would I end up?

Currently a 38G/H and struggling with severe, chronic neck/shoulder/back pain and poor posture that is non-responsive to PT, etc. I would like to be reduced down to a DD-ish; however, the scale the insurance provides says I have to have 819g per breast removed to be covered. About where would that leave me? Do I have any recourse to advocate for less tissue to be removed, based on the fact that I am obese and therefore my body surface area is pretty high.
