31yo, no kids - reduction and lift

Hello, my name is Vanessa, I'm 31 years old and...
WORTH IT$4,300
Hello, my name is Vanessa, I'm 31 years old and I'm having my long awaited breast reduction in 2 days. I'm starting to panic a bit, of course, so I decided to start a journal here to try to calm me down. I have found a lot of comfort, courage and tips from the reviews in here that it encouraged me to participate.
I'm scheduled to be at the hospital at 6AM next Thursday, 8 hours fasting food and liquids. All contracts signed, tests cleared, documents ready. Today I'll be preparing and storing food for the next days - light and easy meals like soups for the first post-op days. This way I avoid eating store bought and unhealthy stuff.
I'm married, no kids, 3 dogs and work from home. My wife will be helping me when she's around, but she'll be out the whole day on Friday, so, I'm a bit worried that I'll be on my own the following day post surgery. What did you girls find to be the most difficult things to do by yourselves on the first few days? I imagine I'll be in bed all day, working from my laptop and napping. Any tips to make it easier? I I'll ask my wife to place everything I need (medicines, water, food, phone...) at waist level to avoid raising my arms.
I'll post a few "before" pictures later today.

Before pictures
So, this is how they are right now.
I'm 1,64cm (5'5), 58kg (127lb), 32DD/DDD.
I've had big boobs since my teenager years, and I started gaining weight when I was 15. In 2011 I was 94kg (207lb), so I started a serious nutrition and exercise program and eliminated 35kg (77lb). It was the best thing, obviously, but skin can't hide what it's been through... Although I have loose skin everywhere, my boobs are the worst part, so, now that I've reached the weight I consider ideal for me, I decided it was time for surgery.

I'm interested in your results. I too am a dd/ddd. But they are mostly long and deflated. They aren't enormous like some on here and I wonder if I really need the surgery. My neck and back do ache but maybe it isn't because of my boobs. I am 5'7, 147 lbs. I can't wait to see what yours end up like. Keep us posted with pics. Good luck!!

Hi! Thank you! I'm sure I'll be back here as soon as I have any news. The actual size isn't what bothers me much, but how saggy and low they set. I can't wear a strapless top or dress, it super hard for me to find a swimming suit that fits me and supports it, keeping it up... My back, neck and shoulders used to ache more when I was overweight, but I still feel it...
Hope I can help you with your decision ;)

It's been 24h since my surgery. I can't believe I really did it!
I'm still in the hospital, don't know exactly why. I thought I was going home as soon as I woke up from the procedure. Apparently it is all going ok, I'm feeling fine, almost no pain. I had a bit of nausea yesterday, at lunchtime, but they gave something to stop it and it worked alright. Later I had dinner and some sleep, although the nurses kept showing up every 2 hours, and I have this plastic "boots" that inflate every 3 minutes. I still don't know when I'm going home and I still don't know how my boobs look like because I still did not have the chance to look at it, it's all wrapped up in bandage.
