Hi jacky. I was in st barts for cryo ablation 4 weeks ago and they are very good and have a great reputation. Your in great Hands. Good luck 👍

[Jacky52 in reply to Elli86]

Thank you Elli, did you have it done under sedation ?

[Elli86 in reply to Jacky52]

I did yes. Its not as bad as you think it’s going to be and they will explain everything you should expect to you before hand. Honestly you’ll be fine don’t worry 👍 worse bit for me was tormenting myself before hand. I’m a total wuss when it comes to having my body messed with 🤣 but was much better than I thought

[kalgs in reply to Elli86]

Did you have GA

[Elli86 in reply to kalgs]

No sedation

[kalgs in reply to Elli86]

I was there last week and conscious throughout. I was surprised no one supported me whilst on the table . I was put on the table and connected up . No conversation whilst it was taking place .

[Jacky52 in reply to kalgs]

I was conscious throughout as well and to be fair I didnt have much conversation with a supporting nurse while it took place. I did actually look around a few times to ask for pain relief when I felt it in my jaw and shoulders. No one was near me apart from the doctor.

[Singwell in reply to Jacky52]

So you're over and out. All went OK? I had two nurses and two EPs for mine and QEH BIRMINGHAM. I think the more experienced EP was overseeing the other one. I felt that the team was excellent, they were communicative but I just left them to get on with it. They did have difficulty because of the pain response even though I don't remember much of it.

[Jacky52 in reply to Singwell]

Over and out Singwell, thank goodness and thank you for asking. There was enough staff there, just when I wanted to turn to someone and say I would like more pain relief, Although it wasnt an issue as doctor requested it immediately.

[Tapanac]

Hope all went well. The doctor on TVs morning live had an ablation at st barts about 3 weeks ago and he said they were brilliant (Dr Dan??)

[Firstbusman]

Very best wishes.

[belindalore]

Hope you are doing well. Take care. Rest. And don't let the Drs brush you off about any concerns you have. But sounds like you had a good place to have your procedure so Drs will treat you well.

[milehighlinnie]

Let us know how it went.

[GrannyE]

How did it go? I too had an ablation at Barts a few years back. Good luck and hope it works long term for you.

[Jacky52 in reply to GrannyE]

Hi GrannyE,

According to discharge letter all went well. Im home resting up . Has it worked long term for yourself ?

[GrannyE in reply to Jacky52]

I am much better than i was prior to the ablation but i am in permanent AFib again. It is not nearly as bad as it was and although i am restricted in what i can do i am able to live a life and provided i dont over strain myself all is well. Before it was really awful. Good luck

[Tomred]
