HENRY, I HAD 3 ABLATIONS BEFORE MAZE.THE ABLATIONS CURED MY FLUTTER BUT AFIB BECAME MORE PREVALENT. MAZE OPERATION DONE BY DR. COX OCT 2000.IF BY ONE YEAR YOU STILL HAVE A FLUTTER CONTACT DR. COX OR WHICHEVER DR. YOU TRUST BECAUSE DR. COX WOULD RECOMMEND YOU GETTING ABLATION FOR FLUTTER. THEN YOU WILL BE COMPLETELY CURED NO DRUGS. IT WILL WORK. I KNOW BECAUSE I HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE IN HOSP BECAUSE THEY GAVE TOO MANY DRUGS FOR POST OP AFIB AND I DO NOT TOLERATE DRUGS. THEY EVEN MADE ME IMPLANT PACEMAKER INORDER TO LEAVE HOSPITAL AND WANTED ME TO STAY ON AMIODERONE. WELL FIRST I REFUSED THE DRUG AND AFTER GETTING HOME, STARTED TO FEEL BETTER. BY FEB 2001 I HAD IMPLANTED PACEMAKER TAKEN OUT AND NOW 18 MONTHS POST MAZE NO DRUGS AND FEEL FINE NO AFIB. TOM
