I attended a seminar at the WeightWise Bariatrics Foundation Hospital.  Dr. Toby Broussard led the seminar and did a wonderful job explaining the different types of surgery.  I went to this seminar with a general idea of the types of surgery but was still very unsure about the whole process.  Dr. Broussard explained in detail each surgery and also explained what types of side effects each surgery has.  I walked out of the seminar very confident in him and the hospital and had made up my mind which surgery was right for me.
