Gonna get an AVR done

[SzB005]

Hello everyone,
I'm 20 years old and I have severe aortic stenosis. Recently I was told to get a surgery done. I'll be getting operated by the first week of May. I needed a few insights as to what to expect pre and post op. What precautions should I be taking before the surgery and after it. And what is the procedure of the surgery. Also I'm opting for a mechanical valve.

Thanks a lot.
