Should I be watching my intake of vitamin K, and how much is acceptable? Are leafy green vegetables out for me because I am now a stroke risk?

My EP wants to perform an ablation procedure for flutter in two weeks. Is this wise, considering that I also have A fib? Should I go ahead with that procedure and then tackle treating the A fib (I have an appointment to see Dr. Natale's assistant in Thousand Oaks on February 9)?

Finally, how do I actually know I am in A fib or flutter? Most of the time, when I move around, I can feel some kind of funny feeling in my heart, but not rapid beats like I experienced a few days ago. That has happened only once. It feels more like the PACs, but not quite. It's more of a floaty, fluttery feeling. By the way, when I lie down or sit up in bed or on the couch, my heart rate seems normal, with steady, even beats.
Thank you!

The plan is for an ablation just for the flutter, followed by 3-4 weeks of anti-coagulant therapy. I suppose treating the A fib would be considered afterward. How do I find out how many procedures he's done? He is Dr. Ali Sovari out of Oxnard, California.

Dr. Sovari seems to have a fairly impressive record in cardiac arrhythmia research, including peer-reviewed publications and some awards. His training and fellowships and affiliations seem quite good, as far as the general reputation of the institutions go. That doesn't put him in the league of Dr. Natale of course. He seems to have generally broader interests, but a more specialized background and skill set in treating afib.
His experience and protocol in treating afib can be found in eplabdigest. He treats mainly symptomatic paroxysmal afib via cryoballoon technique. He has done hundreds of ablations. The anticoagulant therapy is held to the day before the procedure.
He cites the FIRE and ICE trials as evidence for his approach. The article and the subsequent comments and discussion are in NEJM and NEJM Correspondence
The question I have is how cryoballoon compares with rf restricted to paroxysmal af, and not the persistent and/or more complex cases where an expertise like Dr. Natale's is essential? Also, what other evidence based results are there that refute the conclusions of the FIRE and ICE trial results, other than the Correspondence cited above?
