Sue in WDC

Hi Sue,

I agree with you take on the repeat ablation in a patient with no symptoms.  I would love to hear Dr. Natale's take on this since he was at the conference in SF.

Now for an update on my ablation which has been postponed for a bit because I have the need for bladder suspension surgery more than for an ablation.

What began as a drip drip drip is now a gully washer and so off to the surgery, hopefully within the week. Two surgeons will be doing a baldder suspension and a vag. hyst.  They say six weeks to mend and then it is off to San Fran. for the ablation.

I am anxious to get these finished, had hoped that by Fall (my favorite season of the year) I woudl be well on the mend.  Still hoping for that.

How often were you having AF episodes when you decided on the ablation?  Mine have returned to once a month. Have lost 25 lbs. on Weight Watchers and hope to lose another 15-20 lbs. Maybe this weight loss has decreased the AF burden (Dr. Mandrola would be so proud
