Awesome and inspiring story, Ken. As I approach my one year ablation anniversary (1/27), I hope that I will be able to give an equally great story 8 years later---at my 9 year anniversary! Glad you are doing so well and enjoying life to its fullest! Kenby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Congrats Shannon. Wonderful news. Many great days ahead! Safe travels, my friend. Kenby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Great story.....thanks for sharing. In my quest for healthy eating, I have always used olive oil and vinegar over salad......almost daily. I thought it was healthy and never considered it as part of the problem. Sine my 1/27/15 Natale ablation, I'm good. However, in the name of science and isolating factors, I was always willing to try anything.....curiously, what dressing doby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM

I never had any burning feet symptoms.....thank God!!!by kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Monty, I had my Natale ablation on 1/27/15. I had been on Flecainide at varying doses for about 7 months prior. I did not believe the Flecainide was helping me. Immediately prior to my ablation, I was in almost constant afib. Additionally, my last holter monitor showed multiple strips of my heart pausing for 5 seconds. Local E/P had me scale back the Flec, which again did not help me withby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Immediately following my ablation, Natale stopped my Xarelto and I began Eliquis. No titration period.by kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Ron, Sorry about your disappointment, but don't give up yet......the cardioversion may well work for you........ Sorry you are having the difficulty, especially after a stellar beginning. I have to agree with Shannon's comments---have confidence in the fact that you are taking the best steps possible for a successful outcome. Your many friends here are sending you prayersby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Try not to get discouraged..........you have so many people here cheering for you and on your side.........Shannon and Jackie will give you all of the help you need.........the rest of us will offer you lots of support. Hopefully the Sotalol will work better. I never got around to trying it but I will tell you that the Flecainide never seemed to help me much. In fact, after several months ofby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM

Best wishes, Les. Warm thoughts and prayers headed your way for next Thursday! Kenby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I was age 52 back in January when I had my Natale ablation. I had a little bruising in my chest where the LINQ loop recorder was inserted....maybe a little at the catheter insertions locations, but nothing of any significance. My experience was that for the year I was on Xarelto before the ablation, my bruising was worse than the 4 months after ablation when I used Eliquis. Glad you are doby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Agree, agree, agree......let the top-tier EP tell you he can't or won't do it.....don't listen to the other naysayers!by kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Congrats, Monty! Holy Mackerel---I had no idea you were awake for the procedure there..........ugh.......I like your description: "When the first burn began it was surprisingly painful and I immediately asked for more morphine. After that the sensations ranged from moderately painful to mildly uncomfortable. Overall a very unpleasant experience, however not an unbearable one."by kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Monty, Warm wishes for successful procedure and speedy recovery headed your way! Feel confident in knowing you chose a top notch practitioner and facility to give yourself the best chance for the best outcome! Please keep us apprised of your progress! Sincerely, Kenby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I think newbies who come here can benefit by the continued success stories. I'm just slightly past the 4 month mark after my 1/27/15 Natale ablation. I went to the local cardiologist today for my follow-up echo. Just a reminder so you don't have to look back: January 2014--diagnosed with afib May 2014--first echo since diagnosis--ejection fraction at 51% October 2014---secby kls5834 - AFIBBERS FORUM
