Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Dear , We're so happy for you and Orgain that you can see the light at the end of the A-Fib tunnel. Yes, that's me in the " personal experiences' section of a-fib.com. I was a difficult, complicated case because of my previous failed, ill conceived ablations. And the procedures have improved dramatically in the last five years. It should be much easier to cure Orgain than it was me. I only had one vein ablated. Nowadays they routinely electrically disconnect all the Pulmonary Vein openings. A-FibFriendSteve .McCullough@... wrote: > Dear Steve, > > I wanted to tell you what a difference you've made.
