Hello Anon - Thanks for writing to us and seeking information to assist you with your upcoming surgery. Diane has provided some excellent resources on the procedure and recovery.
Multiple studies have shown that being part of a support group helps in the recovery process after cardiac surgery. I'd like to suggest some additional resources that can help you post-surgery. Two of the best ones are:
The National Coalition for Women and Heart Disease
http://www.womenheart.org/
Go Red For Women - American Heart Association
http://www.goredforwomen.org/
There may also be a support group associated with the hospital where you are having your surgery, as well as through your local chapter of the American Heart Association.
I'm so glad you contacted us, and wish you the best next week. Like Diane, I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.
