All the very best for tomorrow Ian. Yes, please do let us know how it goes ... what you remember of it anyway 😊
Good luck - you won’t remember - I didn’t anyway. Best wishes
Best of luck 🤞
Sending good healthy vibes your way...Safe in the knowledge you will soon be feeling better than you have done for a long while...Carol
Good luck
I had my ablation done with Dr Murry last year. Me gave me a choice of being awake or knocked out I chose awake and Dr Murray and his team chatted away as they work. Talking me through what he was doing as he was doing it. Please dont be worried about your sedation they are a fantastic team
Good to hear Peter, he's a nice guy and does seem to come highly recommended.
If you Google him he is one of the top men in his field 👍
Good luck . I’m sure you will be absolutely fine .
Best of luck, let us know how it goes
Hope all goes well for you and that your ablation will be successful. Speedy recovery.
Does that mean you’ll be asleep? My friend is a nurse in Gynaecologist and told me not to have that op awake!! Good luck. Let us know what it’s like as I’m
Having the same soon
Laura I was awake it isn't as bad as you may think I never had any pain meds till about 20 mins in either
With sedation you are not awake but not really asleep either so you have some awareness but drift in and out depending upon the level of sedation. Big advantage over GA - fewer risks of complications & much quicker recovery time.
Many procedures these days are performed with a local and sedation - if requested - all that is required.
Good luck.
Had an ablation last April under sedation and was unaware most of the procedure. I do remember some very loud, rapid, heavy thumping in my chest for a few seconds and I heard myself say "what the bleep was that", it was not painful, just odd. Thats all I remember. It has changed my life for the better. Good luck and don't worry.
Good luck
By now you should be there.....looking forward to hearing all’s well good luck
Sat waiting by the bed since 7.20am not spoke to anyone yet, going to be a long day
Best wishes - knock the spots off that arrhythmia!
Hi, Good Luck, I’m waiting for my first ablation, can’t wait to see how you got on
Just make sure you rest up for at least a week after the op!
Waiting is the worst .....
It is to be honest, just prolongs the wait, just trying to not think about it or I might do a runner haha
No you won’t do a runner!! Lol. I was second on the list and had mine done around half 10. Was at the hospital at 7am....the waiting game is actually the worst bit. I hope it comes around quickly for you
Dont worry you will be fine. Wixh you a speedy recovery. I had aation a week ago and am doing fine.
Good luck, hope the waiting is soon over and all goes well. I’ve got AF but it’s intermittent, although I do seem to be getting periods of it more often , so ablation op never been suggested. It was Dr Murray who diagnosed me with AF at Hexham hospital and prescribed me appropriate meds to take etc.
I was the same 5 years ago, 1-2 episodes a year, then moved onto 4/5 etc, meds don't do much for me really the flecanide stopped working so this was the next option.
good luck. I go on Friday, Dr Martin
Best of luck,will be thinking of you and Higgy! Xxx
In US - I was sedated but never knew a thing and that was good with me👌Waiting for your update 👋
Good luck to you!! 🍀
Praying all goes well!
CANCELLED, seemingly after the first patient down had complications they just sent me home, worn out, totally exhausted , can't believe it 😔
Omg I am so sorry...please remember that everything happens for a reason and it wasn’t meant to be today. I feel so much for you after all the worry you’ve been through...
Happens I suppose , guess some poor soul didn't have a clear run at it this morning, at least DR Murray puts care before numbers, think it's just with an hours sleep at best on me , afib through the night last night , then a 5am start with 7hr wait to be cancelled , I feel totally exhausted, wiped out lol , going to shower and bed for an hour, or it's goong to set afib off again, wasnt that impressed on ward, old Guy complained he got ignored last night for water, and I saw one nurse in my area all day, loads of staff congregating at the nurses station and on the way out them having a complain about 20 cases through tomorrow, asked if I should have an apixaban as I hadn't had one since yesterday morning, followed by glazed look, so I just took it myself, not impressed at that to be honest.
Oh that sounds awful. I felt like that when I first arrived at the hospital. Was very much like a cattle market, but the staff after the initial booking in were amazing and very professional and caring. Yes it’s more than you could ask for to be put first so they are doing everything the correct way. It just is hard on the ones (you) the other side. Get some sleep if u can and then if you feel up to it, maybe a nice meal out with the Mrs
Oh no, what a nightmare! You must be drained from it all. Get some rest and hopefully it won’t be too long to wait until it’s rescheduled. Take care 😊
Oh nooo, am SO so sorry! Incredibly bad bad luck, but as someone else said, not meant to be today, for whatever reason. Try to be calm, don’t let the stress& worry undermine you. It will get done and the time will be the right time. Must have been a major issue to throw everyone out. Positive prayers for you 💗
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear your procedure has been put off. It’s quite the mental and physical ordeal to prepare yourself for it. Be good to yourself, rest and take some time to reset your mind. Hope they prioritize your rescheduled procedure given that they bumped you at the last minute!
Thanks all for the amazing support and lovely messages, got postponed, but hopefully Friday go again. Off to sleep thanks all x

Sounds very stressful- a big build up then... cancelled. Hope they manage to do the procedure on Friday.

Not even a phone call today so left totally in Limbo, called the secretary and no answer, not a good feeling really, at least expected a call today after what ward staff said when I left yesterday, not the best communication so far.
in reply to Ianp66
The failure to contact you and the lack of medical advice ion the anticoagulant seems to me to amount to bad-indeed possibly dangerous-practice. If you cannot get through to the office today I would suggest a ringing a manager at the hospital to point this out to them.
I’m there on Friday 😬
Hi Ian,
Any update on your new procedure date? Betty and I both had our ablations on Friday and they went very well. Soon, you’ll have your date and this will be behind you! Thinking of you and wishing you all the best.
Good luck You’ll be good. Had my first one this morning. Bloody hurt tbh. But not loads.
