Greg Walton

Does anyone have any info on this surgeon and his office? Has anyone used him?

Miss C: Dr. Walton did my surgery in July 06. I also worked for Weightwise for a while and got to know Dr. Walton as a fellow employee as well as my surgeon. He is a wonderful man with a great bedside manner. He makes himself available to all of his patients and no question is silly. The WeightWise program is a very patient driven program. All of the facets of care that are needed for Bariatric patients are available under one roof. The staff are trained specifically to care for obese patients, this includes the hospital staff, the clinical staff, the nutrition and physiology staffs and the support staff that answers the phone. I haven't had an easy time with my surgery - I was not well the first 3 months - not due to any surgical issue, just my body not wanting to get with the program. I went through dehydration, stricture and ulcer and not once did I feel that I was being a pain to the staff at any level. Dr. Broussard is also a great surgeon and physician and had he been at the facility prior to May I could have had my pick of either one of them. Both of them have taken care of me in one procedure or another and I think of them as interchangeable parts in the Bariatric program. If you are considering using Dr. Walton, you have taken a step in the right direction. Both Drs Walton and Broussard have had very successful bariatric practices and are eager to see their patients do well. I love going to every appointment I have at the facility and have always felt very comfortable that every staff member has my best interests in mind. I'll be happy to answer any other questions you might have in regards to this surgeon. I can also give you other names for referrals if you would like. If you are considering using Dr Walton, the program has a support group which meats each month at the facility - anyone considering surgery, having had surgery, etc is always welcome to join us. Our next meeting is a holiday get together on Dec 12 at 6pm. You can find more information at www.weightwise.org - click on Events or on the right side there is a link to the Support Group page. I look forward to meeting you! Ruth

Miss C: Dr. Walton is WONDERFUL, and you can not ask for a better place to have your surgery. Both he and Dr. Brossard care about their patients, as do the entire staff at The Foundation of Bariatic Hospital. As Ruth said, we have support group meetings every month and get a chance to learn from others who have had the surgery and talk to people who are thinking about the surgery. Weightwise is a COMPLETE program. You have the surgeon, a nutritionest, an exercise person and a therapist all on staff to be there for you and help you have a successful weight-loss experience. The surgery is only 1 step, the after care you get here is the BEST! I had my surgery in April. If you want to check out my profile, hit April in the arcives to get my experience and photos. As with Ruth, if you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail us. The next regular support group meeting should be January 4th, they are usually the 1st Thursday of the month, and we would love to have you join us. It would give you an opportunity to meet people who have had their surgery with Dr. Walton and Dr. Broussard. Weightwise also has a website, www.weightwise.org if you want to check it out for seminar schedules and support group meeting dates. Best of luck with your weight-loss journey! Jane

I would have to agree with everyone. I am pre op but selected Weight Wise and Broussard is my Doc but Walton and Broussard work close together. I have had just about all my prelimin. testing there and the entire experience has been great. I am so glad to have found them. Their stats are good too. Good luck to you and if you choose this place I am sure you will be pleased.

Hi Tina, Thanks for the info. I have been impressed with Weight Wise so far. Guess I just needed reassurance. Best of luck to you. Please keep in touch.
