How long is the recovery for breast reduction?

I have a consultation set up for breast reduction surgery. I still am a 40 D sometimes a DD depending on the style of the bra. I work out a lot and want to start running but nothing holds me (them!!) down. I have a lot of pain across my shoulders and in order to have any support - hold them up!- I have to wear an extremely tight bra and by the end of the day... it is misery. The straps dig in etc. How's the recovery from this type of surgery and what can I expect. Can it be done on an outpatient basis. I was back to work in two weeks after an open rny and one week after a large hernia repair. I am in my vehicle alot driving and have a desk job otherwise. No kids just me and my husband - who is very supportive ..and (2) dogs.
