How many grams typically are removed going from a 40h bra size to DD?

mmccloy
I am currently 240 lbs. and 5'8". I am a 40H in bra size. I am trying to obtain a breast reduction and have it paid through my insurance. I have looked at the scale and my BSA is 2.30...the 22nd percentile says removal of 1068 per breast...would that be too much. How much weight would I need to lose?
