Hi, I am not good at doing this, but has anyone else had a success story after second ablation for afib on right side. I am having second one done in two weeks.

Most people with a success story do not continue to look at our forum. They just go away and enjoy their new lease of life.

I wish you success.

Depends upon your definition of success? 2nd ablation eliminated AF for me for nearly 3 years. Sept last year it returned but episodes were significantly less symptomatic and seemed to be vagally triggered so I am now able to mostly avoid the triggers and haven't had an episode for 6 weeks or so.

Many people need more than one ablation, I think the most I heard of is one poster saying he had 8. Not advocating it though!

A Fib ablations are done in left side. Flutter in right. That said I needed three but AF free for nine years. Still get other arrhythmias but not the dreaded AF for sure. Multiple ablations are not uncommon.
