Does any one know if there are any support groups for people who NEED open-heart surgery in Ohio. I am looking for other people who have had it done to help me prepare or mine.

I have a congenital heart defect called:
Tricuspid Atresia Hypoplastic Right Ventricle Pulmanary Stenosis And I guess what I am looking for is anybody who has had open-heart surgery or has to have it. I would like to find someone else with the same condition but it is pretty rare.
