Size 42ddd breasts, if I get 500g taken out what cup size will I be after?

OldSoul22
I need a little bit of help. I am 21, 5'3, 260lbs (Yes, I'm overweight), with a size 42ddd chest. I've recently gone to a plastic surgeon to talk about a non-cosmetic breast reduction (since my doctor said it could be covered by insurance.) My plastic surgeon said that with my height and weight the usual requirement to take out is 600g (pretty much my whole boob), she wrote into the board to take out 500g. What cup size would I be if that was taken out?
