Mastectomy this week-what to expect

So booked for mastectomy this Wednesday and feeling very overwhelmed with what to expect.  What do I take to hospital, what do I do about bras etc then there is the day by day count down of losing a breast and the emotional whirlpool of how I will feel afterwards.  I have chosen to have reconstruction at a later date.  I have been on this forum since I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago and found it such a great space, just reading what women go through and come out the other side is truly inspirational and heart warming.
