WeightWise Bariatric Program Bariatric Center
I went to Dr. Walton's weight loss seminer on March 31,2011 this was my first step in having weight loss surgery. I have had my first visit and am now going forward with all the preop things involved. He is a very understanding person and takes him time with you to help aleviate your fears and answer all your questions. At the time I went just wasn't sure what surgery would be best for me I thought that I would have to go with the bypass and he conformed that I would, do to my years of diabetes, and the amount of insulin that I am taking. He told me that this is only a tool that I have to be commited to it for life, the eating plan and exercise, plus attending the support groups each month is very important. But of course this was just my first visit and I will know more later down the road. Right now I am on a high of possibly getting my health back for the first time since 1997.

Update! I have now had my surgery and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. Dr. Broussard has given me a new beginning in my life and I have him and his staff to thank. I highly recommend his pratice and Summit Medical Center. I could go on but i would like my success speak for itself. I can't thank them enough.

Dr. Broussard first impression was professional and caring at the same time about my condition. His office staff is very attentative and friendly. I have not had a surgery yet, but he is working with me to get some of the weight off without surgery and i have been very successful so far. i have lost about 23lbs! He has been very informative and given me knowledge about weight loss that no other doctor has taken the time to give me before. From my experience so far Dr. Broussard is the best!
