I have found Dr. Broussard to be very focused on helping his patients get their health back. I am having the gastric sleeve surgery. His office staff has been very helpful to inform me and answer all questions along the way. They take time to get to know you in order to make your journey as smooth as possible. I believe tried and true have a total plan in place to support their patients through long term success. I truly believe I have the best surgical weight loss program in the state of Oklahoma. I base this on my experience so far and by what I have learned from other patients of past and present. The support your get is exactly what you need for this journey. I will do a 5 Star review after I have completed surgery.
Dr. Broussard took the time on a Saturday when he was scheduled on holiday to come a hold an impromtu seminar for a bunch of ladies.
He is an excellent speaker and took much time with us.
Thanks again Dr. Broussard. I look forward to seeing you again.
I did not go see Dr Broussard for surgery. My RNY was done 10+ years ago and I have found myself sick and unable to eat for the past several months. After tests, it was found that I have gerd and an ulcer in my pouch. I also have horrid dumping and intestinal problems. I heard they had a good program, so I decided to seek the good Doctors help. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you that nothing is your fault, don't see Dr Broussard. I am one who believes in personal accountability, and knew I had no idea how to fix this on my own, so his honesty was refreshing.
He informed me that the condition of my pouch was completely self induced. There were many rules that I have not followed (several of them I actually wasn't aware of). He set me on a course for success, using his entire staff. I saw the exercise people and found the intensity of my current workouts are actually too high. I saw the nutritionist and found out what vitamins I need to be successful and feel good for life. Then I was put on an eating plan to try to keep my pouch happy, while also getting my metabolism out of shutdown mode. I have only been eating one meal a day, and my body is holding on to everything I give it. I am on 4 protein shakes/soups/cocoa's per day, and one meat at night consisting of low fat protein and vegetables. His belief is, I will feel like a new woman in a month.
I was worried about putting anything in my pouch that often, but so far, it isn't making me any sicker. I appreciate the Weight Wise team for being honest and compassionate when I needed direction. For any of you considering RNY, please educate yourself on the do's and don'ts. I am a shining example of what you can do to yourself if you go into denial about having a gastric bypass and try to live like you did before surgery.
I first went to the seminar that Dr. Broussard gave. I was very impressed. I liked the up front view and manner he had. He was what I call straight from the hip shooter. He didn't sugar coat anything. He didn't say things just to make the surgery look good. He told us the cons as well as the pros.
My first appt with him was ok. I had to wait quite a long time in the pt room with no one keeping me updated on why the wait. For a first visit that was kind of nerve racking. In my head I was hoping this wasn't the way it will always be. When he finally came in it seemed like he was just reading off the computer instead of asking me direct questions. For now that is all that I have directly experianced with him.
His staff has been wonderful. Everyone in the clinic has been friendly and helpful. The rest of my first visit was fast. Saw the exercise physiologist and the Dietitian and they explained things very well. I also met my patient advocate, Lisa Morris. I have had a great experience this far with her. My method of communication with her has been emails. She is very prompt in returning them. She does't wait till the end of the day. She returns them all through the day. She has helped with with all kinds of issues and scheduling things not done at their facility. I really think she is on top of her job. Since this was my first visit I am only able to give a one time view.
I did go to my first support group last pm. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It was a large group. There were a lot of varity of pre and post op patient. Also the age group. I think I had a lot of questions answered just by listening to all the others. Good group I look forward to coming back.
I had my surgery with the Weight Wise Bariatric Program. Dr. Broussard and his staff were great at answering questions. I would recommend Weight Wise and Dr. Broussard to anyone considering any bariatric procedure.
my first impression of him wa he was very straight forward and to the point. I was impressed that he seamed to care about our financial well being.He explained evrything well and was good about answering my questions currently i have nothing negative to say.
Dr Broussard was very nice and a joy to meet. Am hoping for a long and productive expericance of better health and self image thur him and his wonderful staff. They were all very nice and very helpful with everything today. Have not been this excited about something for myself in a long time and it's time for me time.
