Ablation - Your experiences? If you've had an ablation would you mind telling me your experience? How long has it been and how are you feeling? Has it gotten rid of the AF? Was it cryo abaltion or RF? Are you glad you did it? Anything you wish you knew before you did it or other suggestions/comments? I really appreciate it. You're thoughts would be invaluable! https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172928#msg-172928 Sun, 26 Jul 2026 17:19:15 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173043#msg-173043 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173043#msg-173043 cirenepurzalot AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 05 Feb 2020 13:59:14 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173040#msg-173040 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173040#msg-173040 Patti Starr AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 05 Feb 2020 08:10:38 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173010#msg-173010 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173010#msg-173010 keeferbdeefer AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 03 Feb 2020 20:10:15 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173008#msg-173008 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173008#msg-173008 cirenepurzalot AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 03 Feb 2020 20:03:51 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173004#msg-173004 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,173004#msg-173004
Since then, normal rhythm, 17 years and counting. I get many ectopics but tame them with magnesium, potassium, taurine and d-ribose.

Most important thing is to choose a top grade EP - mine was done by Prof. Haïssaguere himself, assisted by Dr. (now Prof.) Jaïs.

I have had 5 ablations and if you wish to get a lay-mans take on having an ablation maybe use the Forums search facility for 3 of my following posts 2007 to 2010 i.e fill in the relevant boxes on the search facility with the following info.....

2) Search Message...... Bordeaux Diary / Search Author.......Barry / Forums....Search all Forums / All Dates
3) Search Message.......Native English Speaker / Search Author......Barry G. / Forums......Search all Forums / All Dates

As posts go they are long but hopefully also very informative and reader friendly from a personal perspective with a bit of tongue in cheek humour thrown in.

Just read them today after all these years...the trials and tribulations of an ablated AFIBBER :-(

Also, is it possible to be med-free after the ablation?

Of course. That's the expected result. If you're not med-free (other than anticoagulants, possibly) then the ablation wasn't successful.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 01 Feb 2020 15:54:07 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172948#msg-172948 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172948#msg-172948 cirenepurzalot AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 01 Feb 2020 15:17:18 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172947#msg-172947 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172947#msg-172947
I went back for the second ablation because of two 10 day long episodes one week apart after 13 years with just 3 breakthroughs of a few hours.]]> Ken AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 01 Feb 2020 15:03:19 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172945#msg-172945 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172945#msg-172945
Ken - Thank you so much for sharing! How persistent was your afib before your ablations? Did they put you on blood thinners or other meds before/after the ablation? Wishing you a speedy recovery!]]> cirenepurzalot AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 01 Feb 2020 14:38:38 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172944#msg-172944 Re: Ablation - Your experiences? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,172928,172944#msg-172944
