So, from the ground plane of metamaterial to the patch of antenna; the total thickness is 22 mm. is it too thick for wearable applications? I am trying to get as much bandwidth as I can get with metamaterial at the back of antenna. Please advice.
No, as far as thickness is concerned metasurface and metamaterial are different. In case of a metasurface negative permeability and permittivity need not to be considered.
