I am not responsible
Autumn4,
My name Icemantoo has nothing to do with this freezing procedure. My father and grandfather were in the retail ice business, hence the name Icemantoo. When I had the surgery in 2002 this new freezing procedure was not available. Your story should give second thoughts to not only new patients who may opt for this procedure, but to the doctors also who do this. That being said there is a risk in every surgery whether it be a full nepheroctomy or this freezing procedure. I hope your recovery takes a turn for the better.

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that! I am one of those people if something goes wrong it will happen to me kinda like if it weren't for bad luck you wouldn't have any at all! No that's not completly true I am still alive may be a little sick but have an excellent prognosis. My surgeon said he has done many cyroablations and it is normal to have some kidney secretions afterward. The only thing I would caution people about is this is still considered "experiamental" they don't have the long term sucsess rate yet since they have only been doing this procedure for a couple years or so. Thanks icemantoo!0 -
VENT AWAY
Hi Autumn4,
You certainly have the right to vent and you're definitely at home here. I am really sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience but you have the right attitude! I'm glad to hear that you changed doctors though. Doctors are not always right and just as with any profession you have good ones and you have bad ones. I hope that you recover soon and have a better outcome with the new dr. I hope you will let us know how it goes. Wish you all the best!0
