That’s what it meant for me. I had a second ablation 9 months after the first. Just had my 3 month post second ablation with EP yesterday. I have not felt even a little flutter after the second ablation. EP gave me the go ahead yesterday to start coming off of meds. Done with Xarelto now and tapering off of flecainide and metropolol. As far as alcohol, I have not totally abstained but hby Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Had my touch up ablation this past Wednesday. Everything went pretty much the same as my first one on my end. EP told my wife all 4 veins reconnected and she was able to re-isolate them. Actual procedure time was a little less than the first. I feel like I am recovering easier this time even though the first time wasn’t that difficult. No weird flutters to speak of yet but I had gone 3 monthby Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Met with my EP today and a second ablation is on the books 10 months after the first. After listening to my story and me hammering home getting off meds is the goal, she was all about a “touch up “. December 14 is the date and she feels very confident, without promises, that this will workout very well. Gotta admit that I get an ego stroke when she calls me “ young and healthy”! I am in decenby Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thoughts on a second ablation (if recommended) finishing the job (even if temporary)? I am hoping that what I was told, second attempts are common and even more successful, comes true. I do realize nobody has a “crystal ball” just looking for some experiences close to mine.by Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
A little update-as I thought cardiologist got me an appointment with the EP that did my ablation. Appointment is middle of October. Cardiologist said EP will decide if 2nd ablation is necessary. I haven’t had an episode since Sept.2 when I started back on flecainide and original dose of metropolol. I am also back on Xarelto. I have felt really good other than energy knocked down a notch from thby Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I will end up at the EP but this is the process they seem to prefer. I am in a smaller community with no EP but our cardiologist works closely with an EP in a bigger community an hour away. I trust them both and the process.by Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I posted here a couple weeks ago that I was having what I thought were PACs 6 months post ablation. Those progressed to what I consider short runs of Afib and what my Apple Watch labels “High Heart Rate”. What I thought were PACs was labeled as “Inconclusive “. Anyways, I could feels things going on. Not nearly as bad as before ablation but definitely more than nothing going on. I decided on Frby Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Definitely not having that many a day at least that I can feel. I am not even having them every day. I have been feeling really good and these are like little gnats that can be swatted away.by Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I had rf ablation March 1 of this year. I am a 51 year old male good shape. Things went pretty smooth other than a few bumps during the blanking period. Had to get cardioverted at the 2.5 month mark. Since then I have felt really good except some brief moments of PACs. Going with PACs off of what my Apple Watch reading says and cardiologist seems to agree that’s what they are. I see cardioloby Rayole4382 - AFIBBERS FORUM
