What to expect at Dr Natale consultation

What should I expect at my consultation with Dr Natale tomorrow? One lady I talked to yesterday said it would last a half day. Just wondering what to expect.
The wife and I are in Austin staying overnight for my appointment tomorrow.

5 mg Valium a day as needed.
20 mg Prozac daily
15 mg Prevacid a day
60 cc shot of Testosterone Cypionate every 10 days. Testosterone is low due to schedule two narcotics.
.5 mg Arimidex 2x a week to keep Estrogen levels in check. T shots can cause rise in Estrogen.

100 mg Metoprolol ER 1x a day
25 mg HydroDiuril fluid pill 1x a day every 2 days.
Neurontin 900mg a day (for Neuropathic pain IC/CPPS)
800 mg of Magnesium daily . Different types
81 mg aspirin 1X a day. Heart Doctor order due to stent installed in Jan. 2012.
2.5 mg Eliquis 2X a day

Miralax 1x a day for constipation issues. I have tried so many different methods for Constipation since 2008. Fiber is in my diet but to much Fiber really Constipates me.




25 mg/hcr Fentanyl.patch changed every 2 days

1st ablation done Feb. 27, 2014 for Long term persistent AFIB Dr. Natale
2nd Ablation done June 16,2016 Dr. Natale LAA isolated

Glad you made it to Austin. I was there last month. I don't recall it quite taking a half day. First was an EKG with a tech. Then most of the time was spent with Dr. Natale's nurses who took some history and did some patient education. Total time with Dr. Natale was only about 20 minutes. Have your questions prepared and record or take notes. I imagine length of total visit varies; I'm guessing mine was less than 2 hours. Good luck and as others have said, Dr. Natale is easy to talk to. If his accent gets in the way, ask him to repeat.

That's quite the drug cocktail!!!

Yes it is. I have been diagnosed with AFIB, Interstitial Cystitis, and I have chronic back pain from a motor vehicle incident in 2003. I hate taking all those medications. The Ativan helps my IC and Anxiety.
