Re: looking for people with reoccuring problems after ablation.

I had my first ablation in January of this year. No a-fib for two and one half

weeks and then it slowly came back worse than ever. I had my second ablation in

April and I am in week 7 without a missed beat. The original circle cut around

my pulmonary vein where the a-fib was originating from had 2 gaps in it. The

doctor merely patched the gaps and made an additional semi-circle outside the

original gaps.

I'm starting to run again, playing with and enjoying my children, and

re-establishing a wonderful relationship with my wife.

Don't give up, even if a second ablation is necessary. I was incredibly

frustrated after the first failure but the way I feel now makes it all worth it.

Thanks for the note. the doc keeps telling me there is a 2 or 3 month

window to call this a failure or success. At week 5 still hoping for

success. Thanks again Steve in Denver Hoping to vacation in sunny

Florida soon as I'm beating normal.

Jim, am so glad to hear about your sucesssful second ablation. My first one did

not work, but had another one on May 12th, and except for 2 very brief episodes,

I am feeling better than I have in years. I had a bad experience after the

first ablation, but didn't give up and now am so much better. I agree with

you....don't give up...NSR makes it all worthwhile. I too, am in sunny, hot,

humid Fl. Am very glad for you.........
