Hi JaJa, welcome. You are almost there and will soon be in recovery. Know that your recovery will be so much faster than all of us older folks. So, it's great that you are getting this taken care of now.
You asked for some tips so here are a few: you will be exhausted right after the surgery and that is normal; they will get you up and out of the bed right after surgery and the more you walk the better you will feel (though the first walk or two can be tough); your appetite will not be great, so see if one of your loved ones can bring you some protein shakes or ask the hospital for those Ensure protein bottles; and most of all, know that heart surgery now has amazing success rates and you will be okay. I am sorry you have to go through this at such a young age, but this surgery will let you grow old and healthy and pass-on the good news to future heart warriors. God bless you. Will be thinking of you on the 6th and will include in my prayers.
