Talk to a PS, and not a regular doctor.
Depending on how picky your insurance company is you MAY need to lose weight.
I was slightly overweight and still got approved for a breast reduction.
Talk with the insurance company first.
And, lose weight! :)

Insurance will pay for it, your doctor probably just wants you to lose some weight so the surgery will be successful and not cause more stress on your body then needed, basically just work out stay away from the junk food. I would say your doctor would need you to have a healthy bmi before operation.

A friend of mine had one done and she was over weight, the bad part was that her stomach stuck out more than her boobs did!!!! did not look good at all. She wishes that she lost the weight first!
