Apparently I will have a urinary catheter at some stage as well. Yikes. Not sure when that comes out.

Brian-get the hospital ablation report (differs than the EP report in detail) to see how many burns and length of each burn, length of fluoroscopy, how many cardioversions, joules of each, drugs given, etc. mine are usually 17-21 pages.

Did he give you a rx for Lasix (just in case) and potassium in case your ankles swell up or you retain liquid and gain 5 pounds?

I know it sounds like yikes! but trust me, that catheter is going to be your friend when you're lying there flat on your back for 4 hours and you've just been pumped full of saline for the last few hours. They might offer to remove it before you're allowed to get up and walk around, but I would strongly recommend that you leave it in until then.
The only other advice I can offer is if you have chest or back hair, shave it now. And do what the ladies call a "bikini trim" downstairs. If you don't do these trims, they will, and they won't do a good job. You're going to be getting a waxing when they pull electrodes off your chest and back after the procedure, and then again when you pull a bandage off your groin a day later.
Otherwise, good luck!
