Bariatric Surgery in Massachusetts with Dr. Pecquex I decided to become a doctor because I wanted to help people. In terms of bariatrics, there are not many surgeries that can affect as many systems in the body as there is with bariatric surgery. We can affect sleep apnea, high blood pressure, diabetes, joint problems, and cardiac issues.
