5 months to the day

It is 5 months today since my ablation procedure. Aside from occasional PACs, (which usually occur after a restaurant meal ) I am Afib free, and crossing my fingers in cautious optimism. I take NO DRUGS of any kind ( unless you count caffeine in my coffee) and supplement only with fish oil and vitamins. I power walk almost every day, do Pilates once a week and plan to return to Qi Gong when classes resume. Spending a low stress winter in Palm Springs certainly aids in recovery. I'm very fortunate, and with luck, can make this my final post on Afibbers!

Feel good story justfibbing. Hope your luck holds and you stay in NSR forever.

Dear Just - I wish you the most enjoyable, healthy life forever in blessed NSR.

Thanks for posting, I love to hear those stories

My ablation was 4 months ago without incident. But I'm still watchful. No telling when the beast can rear its ugly head, but hopefully not from within my isolated Pulmonary veins for a while. Thanks go to Massachusetts General Hospital EP Lab.

Just remember, what you ate and your lifestyle before may have caused you heart to be Afibby ! If you go back to the same bad habits, it may come back. Good luck.

Justfibbing, I'm about at the same point - well 4 months since ablation - and so far so good here too. Heart rate has now gone back to the pre-ablation rate too.

Ok... I just had to check in and thank you all for your good wishes. Yes, my optimism is very cautious. After all, I was in the post-op room at Royal Jubilee with at least 2 others who were on their second go-round in 9 months.
and Larry, I'm not sure what bad habits may have led to this condition ....being a consumer of the deadly wheat kernel? enjoying a cookie with my mid-morning coffee? being of British ancestry? or.... having an electrifying personality. ha. I'm researching electrical fields in humans and if that divining rod exercise in Qi Gong has any merit, I'm a veritable transformer station. Lucille Ball wasn't the only woman to pick up radio signals through her fillings! But this is a topic for another forum!
