Post Ablation Follow Up

Hi

I seen my surgeon this week and is he very happy with my results. My ablation was performed June 8. It was a rough week after but I got through it and have come out the other side.

My heart rate is great, blood pressure is perfect and now I can resome my excercising. I showed a couple extra beats while wearing the holter a couple of weeks ago, but my doc says that is part of the normal healing as is my flutters from time to time. I haven't had any alcohol since January and if I decide to, I thing it will be a very light beer as I am a little nervous about that.

I am back to walking at a fast pace albeit I have been walking around the block the week after my ablation. I do expect flutters for a while as he told me it would be up to 6 months for complete healing. I feel very positive and am back to living 100%.

Great news. I love it when something goes right!

Had my ablation at the end of March and i'm still nervous about exercising - what are you planning to do to get back into your exercise regime ( if you have one? )

Hi Ruth

I use to jog so my goal is to get back to that, and weight lifting, hiking and other cardiologist. I am definitely planning on joining yoga also. I'm already walking a fast pace and hill climbing slowly but I get to the top. 😊

snap..... ive joined a pilates class too. Done a couple of long(ish) walks 4-5 miles and my usual gardening which is fairly gentle really and that's about the extent of it. I'm trying to lose a bit of weight and its not easy. Definitely going to the gym or anything like that though!

Hope it goes well for you!
