I don't know what the percentage is but I'd guess it's about 50/50.
One thing to keep in mind with any sort of medical support forum is they don't accurately represent the full patient population. Most people who undergo successful ablations don't tend to hang out in afib forums. They just go on with their lives and pay no attention to afib. So what you tend to find in forums like this are people who are new to afib like yourself and people who are having difficulty dealing with it. So be aware of that when drawing conclusions.
My apologies if you've answered this before, but if you've never seen an EP does that mean you're not on any sort of meds, including an anticoagulant?

It's disconcerting to read that most people are on their second or even third ablation. Does anyone regret their decision to do this surgery?

As far as regular Posters, I think most are Ablationees. I can think of only 3 regular Posters in the last several years that are Ablation free. Me, GeorgeN, and Liz.

" Me, GeorgeN, and Liz." Have i completely passed from your consciousness? Never was ablated, i assure you. These days, due to a series of blunders by my doctors and myself, i am in permanent afib. i am not particularly uncomfortable, though of course i would prefer to be in NSR.
