After ablation, am I no longer a person with AFib?

Afib can com back, that is why some people have ablations 2or3times before other treatments are considered. Taking a blood thinner is for precaution and should be considered if your doctor believes it is for your safety.

All true, but my Mayo doctor who performed the ablation offered it to me as a choice (I didn't ask about it). The benefits and risks are about the same for a person with AFib. The risks of taking it outweigh any benefit if I am no longer a person with AFib. He also took me off Metoprolol (to manage heart rate), which I do not appear to need any more.
