I first was diagnosed with afib in 2010. I tried meds but no go so I had the ablation. That procedure kept my afib at bay for 14 yrs. Last year I had a Watchman implant, that triggered the afib again. Cardiologist did another ablation and I returned to normal sinus rhythm. A week later I was back in afib. Had a cardioversion last week and heart is doing fine. As you can see, time will vary and there are no guarantees. I am fortunate in that I can feel if my heart goes back to afib.
Hope you can relax soon re ablation.
Blessings to you and your family.

Thank you for your story! It is encouraging and positive. If I could stay out of A-fib for 14 years I would be too old to care! 🙂 Seriously, I just wondered why the doc recommended the Watchman when you were okay before they put it in? Did you have side effects from the blood thinner? That concerns me too. How thin is thin enough for someone who is out of A-fib for a long period of time? Anyway, I so appreciate your feedback. I am trying to be hopeful and every day with a NSR is a good day so far!
