I'm so glad everything went well! Definitely call your doctor(s) and ask about rehab. Let them know you want to be able to do vigorous exercise in the near future. A lot of times doctors aren't clued into the fact that their patients want more than to just be able to get around. Heart docs, in particular, are used to older folks who aren't that healthy.
To use my own example... I got a pacemaker at the age of 45. Before getting it I had a LONG discussion with the doc about how I wanted to be able to run and bike and ski again. I think it was eye opening for him.
Make sure they set up a program for you that gets you going as soon as safely possible. I'm sure there are some rehab folks that are more keyed in to athletes that you could go to.
