hi Shelly,
Dr Argotte and his whole staff are wonderful. he is very frank up front and tells you everything you need to know. he does not baby you, but hey i dont want a father i want a doctor. I am 18 months out 169 pounds gone and i am really pleased with the choice in doctors that i made.
Keep Smiling

I am 22 mos out and although he did not do my surgery I transferred to him at 3 mos out. He just assisted with a surgery on me 1 mos ago. They found a large tumor in my pelvis and the Dr. that found it said that without my bypass she would have never have found it,while she was doing my pap smear she noticed that something was pushing up against the uterus and when she pushed on it a large bulge popped up in my pelvic area. I had surgery with a Ob specialist and Dr. A. Thank God it was benign and other than my intestines are having a hard time waking up and working right things are okay. Did have to be readmitted for dehyration, one of the problems we special folks can get into pretty easily. Dr.Argotte is awesome and I would recommend him without hesitation. He will be my Dr. for the rest of my life and he takes good care of you. If anyone needs a great OB Dr. it should be Dr. Anunciato with Comtemporary OB in Paducah. She assisted Dr. A and she is really up on how to take care of ourspecial needs. The Dr. that actually found the tumor was afraid to do my surgery because of the bypass. So having a knowlegable Dr. makes all of the differance. Good luck to you, I think you will be happy with him.
