As some of you know, I have my ablation with Dr. Natale coming up on March 5th. What foods and supplements can I take after the ablation to help my body recover? I'm assuming an ablation creates a lot of inflammation in the body so I'm guessing whatever I can do to help reduce inflammation will help. I'll be on Eliquis for several weeks after the ablation, obviously, so I need to be careful on what supplements I can take. I'm just curious what others have done after an ablation to recover as quickly as possible from an ablation. I'm hoping you can share specific supplements and doses, types of food, exercises, whatever. I did a search here but couldn't find any specific protocol for ablation recovery. If posts already exist on the topic, please point me to them. Right now I was going to implement the following: 1. 600-800mg of magnesium daily 2. 2-3 grams of fish oil daily 3. 100 mg of CoQ10 daily 4. Resveratrol - not sure what dose to take or if it's even necessary 5. Low sodium V8 - say 2 glasses per day (1,800mg of potassium) 5. Keep sugar, salt, and "bad fats" to a minimum Am I on the right track??

If arrhythmia ever recurs......will be headed to Austin immediately!

Other than the aspirin was not required to take any anti-arrhythmic medication.

Natale told me I could resume my exercise program after three weeks.....waited about a month.

Wayne S. from Houston. Scheduled at 1:30 PM. He doesn't read here, but went to Dr. N on my very strong suggestion. I basically said - "you're a 3 hour drive from the best in the world, you are NOT going anywhere else!" Poster & Natale ablatee, JAYHAWK, is also from Houston and kindly talked to Wayne to give him a first hand perspective.

Best of luck to you, too!!!

George - What is your friend's name? I know it's unlikely I'll run into him but if I do I'll say hi to him and let him know I bumped into you here:) I wish your friend a successful procedure. According to Dr. Natale's nurses, I'll be first up that morning so he'll likely be right behind me.

I did not use the zyflamend but chose curcumin instead. I also used 200 mg magnesium, 4000 mg D3, a multi-vitamin called Ola Loa, and 8 oz of low sodium V8 on a daily basis. I am about 90% vegan and ate 10-15 servings of fruits and vegetables per day (all organic) and drank a lot of water and green tea.

I did not have any afib after my ablation and was very pleased when I had my crp levls tested 5 months post ablation that showed .4 mg/l. Less than 1.0 mg/l is considered optimal at the lab that tested for this.

My friend from childhood will be joining you in getting an ablation from Dr. Natale on March 5. I'm sure he'll be interested in the responses.
