Depends on the workload. If all your paperwork is in order I would think no more than a month or two.

Just curious, it’s been two years since your previous post on this subject. Were there complications or did it just take you awhile to get the ablation?

FYI One of the conditions for your special issuance will probably be a requirement to see a cardiologist or nurse practitioner yearly for at least five years. It’s a non event really. I had ablation surgery for SVT five years ago, your exact situation. PM me if you’d like further details.

No complications, I just left the career for a while to be around my kids, and built up a fall back career doing cyber security. Now that the oldest is starting kindergarten this fall I am ready to return. I miss flying for a career, I like cybersecurity well enough, but I can't stand flying a desk. I never renewed the Class 1 after since I didn't have time (or money) to fly at all for a bit, but I decided I need to go back. Thanks for the reply, I will send you a PM.
