Davis is the medical director of bariatric surgery at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center. Why not also educate them on healthy eating, and make fresh fruits and vegetables readily available? “Dr. Davis and I agree that eating raw foods that are fiber-filled, organic, ripe and colorful should be a part of everyone’s daily routine,” said Carillo-Bucaram.
