Ablation cancellation

[Mugster]

Just had phone call from St George' s admissions coordinator. A cancellation has arisen for Friday and did I want to take it? Been on the waiting list for 6 months so said yes please!

Fingers crossed it will sort my Af out to NSR but a bit worried reading all the stories on this forum..

Lucky you! Great when you don't have a lot of notice.

Do remember that many of the successes are no longer posting on the forum.

good luck- good not to have to worry for weeks ahead11

If I am advised to go for an ablation - that would be the way I would like it to be. Very little time to worry!!

Best wishes.

I had a partial ablation 2 weeks ago, it dropped my heart rate by 10 percent which makes daily activities more tolerable for me, if they are goin for something not in the av node i say go for it.

(Remember there should be more improvement - two weeks is very early. People report increased improvements up to nine months or more later)

Good news Mugster, I had mine done there, good team, I'm sure you will be well looked after, let us know how you get on.....

[Buffafly]

Best way, that's how I had mine, best wishes!

If it were me I'd take it it. Your doc obviously thinks you need it, you obviously trust him or he wouldn't be operating on you and no point letting cardiac probs get worse by waiting unnecessarily. And less time to worry and play(my favorite) the 'what if' game in your head pre-op is a plus.Also many people have a more difficult time with ablations, but if you read the whole story more come out alright in the end. Wishing you a smooth sailing. irina1975

Relim2 is right, people mostly post to the forum when they're woried.

I'm due to have a second ablation on Thursday. The first, kept me drug and afib free for 8 years.

Good luck for Friday!

I have had two ablations in a month. I have had a few Issues but if I need to in order to reduce drugs and keep in NSR I would have another two. Best wishes for yours.

I wish you well. Try not to worry too much I have never regretted having my ablation.

Go for it, and good luck. Not having a date fixed weeks in advance has got to be a good thing for anxiety

Hi Munster

Good luck for your op. Just don't forget to come off your medication in plenty of time as my wife has had an angiogram operation cancelled because of wrong information about when to stop her tablets given on the forms.

Hope all goes well.

Regards Flyer.

Don’t worry. Easier said... mine was nov 2013 and af free since. Be prepared to take things easy and be PATIENT. I had all sorts of bumps and erratic beats which too 5 months to settle down. Also higher resting heart rate for almost a year. But all good so far. Good luck 🍀

[Nanabrodie]

I had two ablations last year for PAF,one in April which didn’t quite fix me and the second in August. Both times I had a phone call mid afternoon asking if I can be there for 8am the next morning. I certainly jumped at the chance and before I knew it, it was all over. It has been six months now and (touch wood) everything is going well and have had no AF just a few ectopics. Good luck 👍🏼

Just had a telecon cancelling my ablation op tomorrow for an emergency op on someone else. Understandable but so frustrating as had built myself up for it, had the preppy yesterday etc...
