AV Node ablation

Had my appointment with the Consultant this morning, told how much better I felt after last clinic visit but still the problems of arrhythmias. Had a good chat and he came straight out with the real possibility of complete AV node ablation. That even though I feel better at the moment things are highly likely to go down hill, so I am going back on Verapamil 240 for 3 months to see how that goes. However I haven't had a great deal of success with meds in the past.
I suspected there may have been a chance of another ablation but a total one has torn me 2 ways.

Will read up so I can get my questions ready, though I don't go back until Dec 30th.
You certainly don't get board with these problems.

I've tried going to the Pacemaker Advocacy group, but can't locate the movie. Any advice?

I just want to share about the quality of life after my pacemaker, and hopefully increase awareness that lifestyles do not have to be drastically modified just because we are pacemaker recipients.
