Here I am in a day room in hospital waiting for it all to kick off. I am a bit apprehensive but hoping it goes well. I am one of the ones the doctors think that early ablation might be more successful as I have not had much medication and only diagnosed 9 months ago. In some ways this made the decision to have an ablation more difficult as I am not having really bad symptoms yet. I get an attack about once a month that lasts 6ish hours but on bisoprolol so not too fast.
Will let you all know how it goes. Marie

Well done Marie for making the right choice. I know you will not regret it but do take time to recover and don't be surprised if you get some odd arrhythmias along the way. This is quite normal.
Hi timmo. How are you feeling. Hope not too anxious and I am sure you will be fine. Where are you having the procedure done. Good luck for tomorrow and let us know how you get on. Marie
Good luck Marie, you will be fine. I was in the same position caught early and recommended for ablation. It's now 11 days since I had it done and I feel great, as Bob says, still getting messages from my heart but was off Verapamil straight away. You have to take it easy for the first couple of weeks - your entry wound sees to that!!
You will do fine, just remember to not move around too much post-op. I had mine a little over a month ago, no more afib, and I resumed normal exercise and activity within 10 days, feel greeeeaaat, and you will too!
Hi. What a nice bunch you are - thanks for all the good wishes. All over at 4.30 and all went well. Taking me off bisoprolol but will see what ep says tomorrow. Feel fine and no pain (may be thee painkillers??) In nsr and say looking good so everything crossed for the next few months.
Thanks for that - yes will enjoy a bit of pampering. Had lasagna and jelly earlier ( not together!!) So far no pain and no bleeding so looking good. Hope it lasts. Mariw
Hi to all of you. I am now home after my ablation and so far feel fine. I am off meds except warfarin and statin so although I know to expect some heart activity at the moment all is quiet. I have had no pain and no bleeding and ep says all went well.
Thanks to all for your interest, support and encouragement. Marie
Thanks Bev. How are you feeling - still OK I hope. I don't' find it too hard to be waited on so will sit back and take full advantage!!
Seriously, I know what you mean, its easy to think you are OK when there are no visible scars but remember thay are on the inside. Take care now. Marie
