hi all
I had a failed Cryoblation in March and now back in tomorrow for an RF ablation .
im naturally just as nervous as the 1st time and wish I could have full anaesthetic rather than just sedation again but hey ho time to man up and get on with it lol .
fingers crossed it works this time and I will let you all know how I get on
it’s at St Barts again so I’m in good hands
thanks
matt
Hoping all goes well for you today. X
Oh I do hope that all goes well for you today, sending positive vibes and hope this time it works for you. Very best wishes.
Same here. Just on my way in for 2nd in less than 3 months as a cancellation came up. Also sedation only unfortunately. Last was GA and was wonderful. But as you say it is time to get my big girl pants on and I am grateful for the cancellation slot. X good luck with yours. X
What hospital you going to ?
University Hospital of Wales. Cardiff
Good luck. Had mine in Swansea!! 2 in 2 months, both without GA. You'll be fine, they will make it comfortable for you. Take the recovery slow and easy.
Best wishes for today and your subsequent recovery x
Go well, Matt.
Best Wishes, please feel free to contact us info@afa.org.uk if you need any advice or support following your ablation.
Hope it goes well for you both
Good luck. Hope to hear you are in NSR
You’ll be fine. Hope the 2nd one does the trick. I need a 2nd as well. Fingers crossed for you.
Not long & you'll be home Matt. All the best & let us know how it all goes
Good luck
You will be grand and soon looking forward to many years of stress free NSR
Good luck. I had my second ablation about 8 weeks ago which was also RF, The sedation seemed to be very mild this time but it made it a lot easier, I was in full conversation with the medics right through the procedure which only took about an hour. As usual it is out thoughts that play havoc and causes all the anxiety but once your in the Lab things just move along. All the best 👍
Hope all goes well today - I had 2nd ablation on 1st August and felt better almost straightaway and so far , fingers crossed, no af - hope it’s the same for you
At St Barts , gowned up and due down at 9am.
Signed the dreaded risks letter lol and just want this over with now .
Will keep you all updated on my progress
Thanks for all the nice comments
Matt
Waiting to hear how you get on. Hope it all goes well too.
Good luck you’re in good hands. Out in time for lunch!
I had 2 in 2 months, so I can relate. For me, it was easier 2nd time around, knowing what to expect.Good luck with the recovery!!
Hi , my first cryo wasn't successful and I had to wait over 2 years for a follow up RF redo ablation which I had last week .The procedure this time was much more involved and I was given a GA as it took over 3 hours
There will always be nerves but ablations are now pretty routine so complications are rare thankfully.
So far after 9 days I'm AF free ,the bruising is starting to fade and I'm feeling like doing a bit of light walking to get a change of scene .
I'm not one for sitting around but understand the importance of not overdoing things so will listen to my body and take things slowly.
Best of luck for your procedure 👍
I do wish you success this time around and it's only natural to feel anxious. It will soon be over and then it's all about being patient with yourself and taking things very easy. Sending healing vibes your way.
Good luck. Barts are considered to be exemplary in this area.
Good luck, I hope it goes well for you…..
Good luck to you. My RF ablation took care of a poorly done cryo ablation. Let us know your progress as you heal.
So after a 6 hour ablation ( is that a record ?) I’m on the ward and staying the night due to length of procedure
I feel fine just a bad back from laying still for 8 hours ,
Hopefully they have fixed it and get some res bite from our friend AF
Thanks for all the support
Matt
