After speaking with my EP, Dr. McKenzie, I've decided to go ahead with the ablation procedure. He and Dr. Nademanee will be performing the procedure at Centinela Hospital in Inglewood CA on Oct. 22. Hopefully this will at least minimize my af episodes to a tolerable level, if not fix I believe I'm ready to do this. My af episodes have been getting progressively worse since they first appeared back in Oct. of '99. I don't know if I'll be released the same day or kept overnight at the hospital. Once I get back online, I'll make sure to post my experience and results. My best wishes and prayers go to all of you who have or are thinking about having an ablation. I know its not an easy decision to make, it certainly was not for me.

Jack - I'm getting up early tomorrow to head over to the hospital. I check in at 9am PST. Not sure how long the procedure will take though.

I'll will make sure to post as soon as I can. Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement and support. Talk to all soon,

Good luck, Jose. My AFIB has recently taken a slight turn for the better (i.e. less of it), so I am becoming a bit more deliberate in my ablation approach. Please let us all know how things go.

Best wishes for this Wednesday. I see you put up with AF the same time as have I - from Oct 99. I guess the fact that you're opting for an ablation means that you've had a lot more than the 4 episodes I've had to date. I really hope the ablation does the trick as regards ridding you of AF. Keep us informed.

Just as I posted my message, I saw yours! You will be in my prayers!

Hey, maybe we can compare each other's experience since we're having the procedure done the same day! :)

My best wishes to you and your loved ones!
