Getting top surgery as a fat person in the UK is easy (/s) All I had to do is: 

* learn the unscientific BMI restrictions
* rage
* despair
* try to lose weight
* gain weight
* react inappropriately at someone else's perfectly good joke about how much weight they "lost" in their top surgery
* get a recommendation to the clinic they used
* need help even finding their website because my brain couldn't function on this subject
* miss my video consultation appointment (lack of time zone clarity!)...

Getting top surgery as a fat person in the UK is easy (/s) All I had to do is: 

* navigate the UK private healthcare system (hated that! hope I never need to do that again) to get a mammogram
* oh here's a thing that should have gone at the top of the to-do list: fifteen years ago, buy a house I didn't want with someone I shouldn't have been married to, in a gentrifying, so that when we get divorced even our falling-apart house still has Equity so I can pay for all this!
* get surgery appointment

So you can appreciate how I thought I'd never, ever be saying this.

But I'm having top surgery! in October.
