I had an ablation 3 months ago--gained 20lbs in fluid weight from the procedure and meds. I lost the weight in 1-2 days after discharge from the hospital. I was told they use a lot of heparin and other fluids to prevent clotting--but 20lbs--yikes. I am very slender and 20 lbs is quite a bit of weight to put on in such a short time. I feel so much better after the ablation--no chest pain and beautiful sinus rythm. I am glad you are getting better, and wish you continued healing.

I love this new part of me, and very, very thankful that this technology exists and I know that it's all only going to get better over time.
