One Month Update

I'll try to keep this one shorter than my earlier updates.

Since identifying the gallbladder issue in the second week after my 1/27/15 ablation----and then eating a more gallbladder friendly diet----the tachy episodes that occurred after irritating the gallbladder have subsided. I haven't had any additional tachy episodes since cutting out fatty/greasy/fried/cheesy foods. All of this acheived without and anti-arrhythmia medication----I'm only taking 12.5mg of Metoprolol daily and 5mg of Eliquis twice daily.....which I hope to stop after the blanking period.

I'm anxious to exercise more vigorously, but I'm going to take it easy until after 8 weeks.

It is truly a blessing to be in NSR all of the time. I'm extremely thankful for all of the great support and guidance that I found here from this board's membership. I appreciate each and every one of you.

I wish you all NSR for every beat!!!

Best wishes.

Ken - I'm not surprised that avoiding the greasy foods worked well for you. It's a known mantra about 'heal the gut, heal the patient' ... so your success indicates you have trouble breaking down fats and that specific digestive enzymes in high doses (lipase) along with pancreatin will help keep that area calm and assist with functionality. Of course, continue to work on dissolving the gall stone. Obviously, it's healthy to avoid greasy and fried foods for many other reasons as well.

Your "canary" in this case along with the heart activity is a warning that something is amiss in the body and it's time to remove the offenders. Glad you did and that it worked so quickly.

Best to you,
Jackie
