Thanks everyone, I had suffered with AVNRT for over 20 years, and I feel very blessed to be free of it!! It seems so strange not to feel my heart beating anymore, I mean I know it is!! Just not the constant irregularities that I was always so aware of. It is so much quieter now! I guess this is how "normal" people go about their days, not feeling every beat!
So good to hear other positive stories, especially long term after ablations. It gives me great hope that this will continue...
Wishing you all much Peace and Joy.
Hey Joshuamom: I had an ablation in july of this year and so far mine has been perfect. I had afib for 13 years....about 15 electro cardioversions plus the arythma medications .. the whole 9 yards.. none of it anymore.... never thought my heart would be normal again.. it just ticks right along at about 65 beats a minute while resting.. no flutters, no pvcs no afib ...no nuttin.... just like it used to be before afib...life is great... sounds like yours is toooooo.... good luck and a happy new year... claytex
Hey Merry Christmas MIchelle and i am super happy for you. LIke Jerry says its great when we all read alot of positive posts.......i too am over four years out from my ablation and am still surprised every day when i can't feel my heart...and that is a good thing...ablations are an amazing tool that docs use to hand us our lives back on a golden platter.........
HI Michelle, glad to hear that you are doing well. I too had the ablation 6 months ago for AVNRT and like you, initially I had some little runs and thought that the procedure may not have worked. However, here I am six months later SVT free; I feel like I have got my life back and would fully recommend this procedure to fellow suffers.
This will be my merriest Xmas in a long time!

Great, and, yes we need more good results reported. One can get a distorted view of anything on which only one side/outcome is presented.
Michelle, Merry Christmas to you too, and it sounds like you are already thankful.
Hi Michelle, thanks for letting us know how things turned out. I'm so happy for your success!
