I'll quote someone here. "I've never heard anyone say I wish I would have started excercising sooner after my ablation.

Several years back I needed to get a hernia repaired and I saw many warnings of complications and problems, which similarly had me worried - but in the end it turned out to be such an easy procedure with no issues -

When I read Dr. John's blog, he makes the recovery sound like a nightmare.
Frankly, I'm of the opinion Dr. John is the nightmare.

Recovery from ablations is a breeze for most people. It's a few days of a lifting and exercise restriction, some mildly tender insertion sites, and perhaps a little fatigue. I've had far worse head colds.
Mandrola is a self-promoting writer who makes a practice of making a fool of himself in the EP community. I pity his patients and he's not who I would recommend getting information about afib and ablations from.

He seems to be big wig in the EP community, but I'm still hoping his hands are as good for procedures as his brain is for research.
He's not a bigwig in the EP community at all. He's viewed with disdain there.

You mean Dr John right? My comment that you quoted here was about my EP Dr. Marrouche. He's the one I'm hoping is good.

Mandrola does not seem terribly hip on ablation. He seems to be more in the healthy living camp. Nothing against healthy living... But if that's the answer why do healthy people like him have AFib?Quote

I just read his blog. I think he's not convinced ablation works? ....but that doesn't mean you won't think it works....something along that line...
oops...that's Mandrola.

I called my EP's office today and UPenn's protocol is to have patients wear the holter monitor for 30 days afters the ablation! It seems a bit excessive compared to other EP's protocols.
I requested they ask the doctor if I can cut it short a week, since the last week would be a major inconvenience due to other committments.

That is reassuring to hear...Quote

My doc, Marrouche, is very pro ablation.
Your doctor is very highly regarded in the EP community. If he is indeed local to you then you've stepped into a gold mine. Your AF journey is likely to be a short one.
