Good luck with your ablation. Am at the bottom of a long waiting list myself . Do you really have to starve for 15 hours ? Then obviously the length of the procedure . I don’t do well going a long time without food

Thank you so much.Yes the lovely nurse at Glenfield asked if I could not eat from midnight and my procedure may start after 11 am.😀

[CDreamer in reply to Peony4575]

May depend upon sedation or GA?

[Peony4575 in reply to CDreamer]

It will . Am hoping they will do it without

I had my ablation in Glenfield in Sept 2023, done by Dr Sandilands. I was looked after very well, as I’m sure you will be. Hopefully the nasty AFib won’t show it’s ugly head again.🤞🤞

Thank you so much,my operation is at 11 tomorrow touch-wood.Do you know how long before the operation you cannot eat 😀

[Sixtychick in reply to RagdollRagdoll]

Sorry didn’t see that till I was having my breakfast today, so you’ll now be at Glenfield, no doubt. I would have thought they’d have given you all that information. Good luck. Let us know how you got on.
