Bariatric surgery:
A whole-health makeover
Bariatric surgery can change your life from the inside
out. It not only reshapes your body’s metabolism; it
reboots your health. “People may not realize that this
type of surgery has a profound effect on nearly every
organ system in the body,” says Richard Parent, MD,
bariatric surgeon at St. Helena General, Bariatric &
Metabolic Surgery Center at St. Helena Hospital.
