Been approved for a breast reduction on the NHS

Hi all! Been looking at the reviews on here for a while and finally had chance to join and tell my story/get some advice. First off can I just say that every story I have read has been very interesting and I can relate to most ladies on here and all of the after photos are amazing and making me very jealous lol. Ok, I will introduce myself and tell you more. I have just turned 30 and have never been any less than a D cup, I am 5'4 and 79kg. By breasts seem to appear over night when I was about 11 and have been growing (and growing) ever since. After having 2 children I am now a 36J H/GG on a good day. I am in constant pain with my back and shoulders and have recently been diagnosed with Degenerative Disk Disease. I am seeing a physiotherapist who has suggested that a reduction would help me massively, a nurse at my doctors surgery has also suggested the same. Although I have always wanted it done, I never thought that the NHS would do it (still not holding my breath). However, with my recent health issues I believe that a reduction would medically help so I am seeing my GP on the 5th September to see if he will refer me. I am desperately trying to bring my BMI down as I am current 29 and I know I need to be 27 or less for them to even consider me. I do have private health care through work who have been brilliant with my current back problems (this is who I am seeing my physiotherapist through) so if my GP does refer me I am going to see if they will cover it. It's still very early days for me but I thought I would start early. My dream is to be able to play over the park with my kids and run about without having to hold myself down or being in pain.

They will not fund removal of healthy tissue :( has anyone else has this and can it be overturned?

So after going to see my gp yesterday I am not sure I'm actually going to get anywhere. He has agreed to refer me, however he has advised that the PCT are likely to refuse my request as there is no available money! He has recommended that I see an orthopaedic surgeon and discuss it further with him. He seemed very dismissive and basically told me that as I have degenerative disk disease that the damage is already done so a reduction would not help at all. Now, I am no doctor but surly carrying around this much extra weight around on my chest does not help the strain on my back. He even said that barriactric surgery might even been suggested. I was quite offended by this as I am only 1.5 stone overweight (which I am desperately trying to loose to be in the correct BMI range). All in all in was a bit rubbish but at least he has referred me so I just have to wait for the appointment to come through. Thank you all for your comments, they are greatly appreciated as I am totally new to this :)
