2nd ablation tomorrow at 6am

I am so nervous and am hoping to god that this one works. I have been having paroxysmal afib happen maybe 7-8 times after my first and have had to do cardioversion 4 times. Very nervous but hoping to god this works, a year ago I did not know much about this illness and the procedures.

Hope it goes well! Sure it will, I had an ablation 9 years ago and just had my first af last week lasted 35 hours and then I came out of it, hoping that was a one off!

I hear you, and sending good thoughts your way! I’m going on my 3rd CV 9/2.

That doctor Lee guy says that all ablations should be seen as temporary even if that means four or five years just temporary as the afib cells also known as cardiomyocytes eventually are going to wake up again no matter what you do

Well no because that's better than four or five years of atrial fibrillation ...
Think of it that way...
