Can we talk grams instead of cup size?

My PS will not discuss cup size.  He only talks grams.  Since none of my bras fit, I can only guess that I'm a 32DDD or G (G is what the bra fitter at Nordstrom's said).  The PS said each one is 800 grams and he is required by the insurance company to remove 400.  Any clue what cup size that will make me?  Is 400 enough or should I ask for more?  I want to be as small as possible.  I've read the disappointment that women have experienced after going through this surgery only to end up being only one cup size smaller.  I do plan on having a conversation with my PS at the next appointment, but I would love to see what the women here have to say.
