O.K I Surrender – I’m Having a Sleep Study Done!

Travis Van Slooten |January 26, 2016 | 4 Comments

As many of you know, I’ve been talking about having a sleep study done for almost a year now. About three weeks after my ablation in March 2015, I met with a sleep specialist to discuss the possibility of having a sleep study done to rule out sleep apnea and to discuss my many years struggle with insomnia. The appointment didn’t go well. The clinic gave me a bad vibe and the specialist I met with wasn’t exactly friendly or […]

2015: A Year in Review

Travis Van Slooten |December 31, 2015 | 10 Comments

Well it’s the last day of 2015 so I thought I would recap the year’s events. I started out the year having yet another episode of atrial fibrillation on January 18th. And then I had another one on February 3rd. At the time my afib episodes were occurring quit regularly – anywhere from once every week to every three weeks. Blood Thinners (Eliquis) & The Catheter Ablation About two weeks after that February episode I started taking a blood thinner […]

Travis Van Slooten |December 7, 2015 | 27 Comments

Well December 5th marked the 9-month anniversary of my catheter ablation. I thought I would start this post-ablation update by answering a question I get asked a lot from readers of this blog. The question is, do I regret having a catheter ablation? My answer: NO! My only regret is I didn’t do it sooner. And if the first ablation doesn’t “stick,” I won’t hesitate to have another one. Hell, I’ll have 3 or 4 procedures if necessary! I think […]

Good News From My Visit with Dr. Andrea Natale

Travis Van Slooten |October 25, 2015 | 7 Comments

In my last update I was still complaining of the PVCs and PACs I was experiencing from my 6-month post ablation update. It has been a rough two months (and then some) of having PVCs and PACs. At times it has been worse than having afib. After my recent visits with two respected EPs, I finally have some peace of mind (and a little relief). In this post I detail my meeting with Dr. Natale. In part two of this […]
