hi thanks for writing please tell me if you still have to take meds i want off meds so bad the doctor said today we will do another one in jan hes all booked up until then are you cured of all the problem? i dont undeerstand what you had done was it for afib too? my insurance company doesnt want to pay for my 23 hour observation stay after ablation and the last one was 5000 dollars and i cant afford to pay that if it doesnt work we are getting ready to retire but i dont want to be afraid its going to hit anytime either did your insurance pay for all and did they call it observation after ablation how long did you stay thanks so much gwanda

Hi Gwanda,

I had two ablations, 3 months apart, for frequent PVCs.  Each ablation lasted between 6-7 hours.  The first ablation targeted RVOT, while the second was for LVOT.  I had much improvement after the first, but was still very symptomatic and the doctor felt it would be a good idea to get in there again and try for more improvement.  Turned out to be a great idea!!
