"Choosing a surgeon for my WLS was the most difficult aspect of this journey for me; when I met Dr. Broussard at his seminar, I knew without a doubt he was the one. He inspired confidence and I could tell he was a very nice person. My opinion of him has only become more positive with time, and I appreciate everything he has done for me. He is very honest, very blunt, and very caring and he made me realize that excuses for being overweight no longer have a place in my life. He imposed a tough pre-op diet on me, at first I was not happy about it at all, but today, I can't thank him enough for that."
