No non-stop flights between Key West and Austin, of course, so we fly EYW- ATL-AUS. Off all meds and still in NSR today- I'm cured! A few glasses of red wine will fix that, I'm afraid. Ideally, I'll flip into AF Friday morning right before my procedure. Looking forward to seeing a few friends and frat brothers from med school on Thursday in Austin. I think my wife is more nervous than I am, but I suppose that's expected. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,150858,150858#msg-150858 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 13:58:17 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,150858,150927#msg-150927 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,150858,150927#msg-150927

If you are determined too try it, get some skin antiseptic from the pharmacy and coat the whole area well and then buy one of those body electric razors , soak the blade parts in the antiseptic and then give it a go. Of course try to cut down any bush to a shorter stuff with some blunt sizzors the make the job easier with less pulling etc.

Whatever you do, dont just go at it with a non-sterile BIC or Gillette type razor blade the area is not like your face that has been used to being scalped everyday of your life and toughened up as a result.

Anyway, afterward be sure to shower off good and reapply the antiseptic over the shaved area. That should do the trick as well. but you can save a lot of aggravation and added expense and searching around by just letting the trained folks at St Davids do the work while you are under in no-dreamland

I was in Austin this time 3 weeks ago waiting out the 3 days post ablation that is recommended. Natale and his team are so professional and competent that they will put you at ease as soon as you get there and start interacting with them. They know what they're doing and they do it better than anyone else. My wife was worried too, but they even put her at ease. While I was being ablated she visited with other women in the waiting room. St. Davis' did 16 ablations that day. Natale did 3 of them so there was plenty of company.

We'll look forward to your report on the other side of this.

Dr.N couldn't induce afib during my ablation with his various tricks. If I had known in advance I could have drunk a big glass of ice water and taken care of that for him! Guess he still knows what to do as my ablation was 'extensive' and now I'm fine 2 yr later.]]> bstevens AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 20 May 2015 14:11:47 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,150858,150869#msg-150869 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,150858,150869#msg-150869

Could not be in better hands as you now know. And you don't have to go bungie jumping off the University of Texas Tower either to get your heart misbehaving. Dr N has a whole concoction of goodies in his bag of tricks that will jump start that AFIB on cue while you are gladly asleep already.

Keep us posted and best wishes though you wont need them. You moved past wishful thinking with the best possible choice up front.

Cheers!

My best friend from childhood who lives in Houston went there 10 weeks ago and can't say enough good things about the team. He's luckily not had a blip since!
