Afib - do I just live with it?

I have had AFIB for many years now. I just had the Watchman FLX device put in 12 days ago. Simple procedure in my case. I am now waiting to do another heart cath to see if I need a stent put in. I am also thinking about doing the ablation procedure. The cath and ablation solution will have to wait for one year. For now, I monitor myself and let my doctors know how I am doing. I completely trust my heart team so doing more procedures will not me a mental issue for me..
Hope your procedure goes well. Keep us posted please.

I have a great cardiologist who's had good results with the Watchman. I sent a friend to her who's had a few AFIB episodes and she's monitoring his care for now and, if they continue, might recommend the Watchman as she has patients doing very well with it. I'll be interested in reading what you think as time passes and you've lived with it awhile.
