Hi all

Sitting in reception at St Barts waiting to start the procedure today .

Hopefully sorting or at least starting the process of fixing my flutter and the AF with cryoblation today .

I will keep everyone updated but currently very nervous as I’m going to be awake with sedation throughout ( can’t see why I can’t be knocked out lol )

I will man up though and will post again later

Have fun all

You won’t remember a thing and you will be ‘knocked out’ ie: asleep for most of the time -when the anaesthetist do their job properly. Make sure you let them know if you feel anything. Sedation has great advantages not least that you will recover much quicker and it has fewer risks over GA.

Best of luck and hope all goes well.

Best wishes to you. Will be waiting to hear how it all went. You won't know much about what happens. When I had an ablation, a nurse sat watching me and every time I became a little conscious they signalled for more sedation.

I had a flutter ablation at St Bart’s - they will take excellent care of you. I was sedated and didn’t feel anything. I remember them saying ‘here comes the gin & tonic’ and talking to the nurse and being amazed when they said it was done! Take it gently after and rest up. Wishing you well.
