Hello.
So been to doctors today and he has prescribed me orlistat to help me with my weight loss so I can have my breast reduction surgery as NHS has agreed that if I get my weight down to 65kg I can have it done.
I'm currently 80kg so I have a good way to go so fingers crossed.
At least I have something amazing to work for as currently my boobs are 36KK and I hate them with every fibre of my body.

I took it but as I was on a low fat diet it didn't have any effect.

Be aware that if your breast reduces as a result of weight loss then you may no longer be eligible for surgery. Hopefully that won't be the case for you, but in some areas they do reassess once you've reached the correct BMI.
