I’m getting closer to this procedure and looking for any input from people who have experienced this. Thanks! (In US/Cleveland Clinic/Florida )

Had AV node ablate last May and I have got my life back, so my experience has been positive. x

You walk in they prep you and you go under and you wake up. No sweat, so glad I did mine.

Had mine since 2008. Most important procedure I have had done - have had quite a few!! It has given me confidence about my heart conditions. I can’t imagine life without my pm. Relax when it is being inserted. Not painful just a lot of pushing in of the box and the leads. . Best wishes

thanks! It will be a A&P so I think I will be totally out, which suits me just fine…looking forward to be new & improved

Hi and good wishes.I hope the procedure went well. Would like to hear a follow up on how your feeling. The Cleveland doctors have a good track record for successful Ablations.

thank you and I certainly will ….I think I’m just bummed out today as I’ve been suffering, trying all the alternative remedies before the P&A, and I’m just tired of being tired. Just an off day….not giving up.

[Dr-Gohan in reply to Prettyorchid]

I had really bad afib for 20 months and then I was offered a Pacemaker, which is still doing it's job. Then, 2 years ago this month I would be celebrating a successful ablation and return to NSR. However, I just started having ectopic beats about 3000 per day. I was surprised and bummed out. I spoke with my EP who said let's monitor it. I am grateful that I have the Pacer to rely on. I can't complain given that I am 77 years old and been in good health otherwise. So, I take it one day at a time and focus on the positives in my life. I have found that short walks really help clear my mind and notice the small and wonderful things that we are surrounded by. Again I hope for you to have the very best results from your treatments/procedures.

thank you ….Carpe Diem has always been my motto…I am not enjoying all the beauty that Key Largo FL has to offer….. although no pool as I heal….and I wait….slept 9 hours, HR 72.,..but I’m tired, lethargic…I hoping it’s a setting thing 🙏. Wishing you a good day!

Has your procedure happened yet? I keep wondering how the Cleveland folks are responding. Hope all is going according to plan.

[Dr-Gohan in reply to Prettyorchid]

So once again I find myself wondering how it all turned out for you? Did you ever find sometime to enjoy Florida?
