I don't have anything to share, other than wishing you smooth and painless procedure, and hoping you can resume a normal life pretty soon. I have a relative who had a long and complex open heart surgery in her early teens (for something unrelated, no need for an artificial valve). Thankfully the procedure was very successful, and she was able to recover in a matter of weeks. And this was almost 20 years ago, when technology was a lot less advanced.
