@cstrutt52 I agree with you--finding the #1 clinic or #1 electrophysiologist to do the procedure is very important! I appreciate your recovery story and I am very hopeful about my ablation because I only experienced A-fib for one year before my ablation. From what I have read, the sooner it is addressed this way, the better. I gave up all alcohol and cut down on caffeine which might have been one of my triggers. Mostly I lost weight and have always exercised daily, so those things may have helped too! But mostly I got a great physician and I am so pleased that he seems to have taken his time and really did more than the "basics" to get a good result for me.
