Comprehensive Care Transforms Woman’s Life

Beverly struggled with severe obesity for years. Thankfully, the team at the Metabolic and Bariatric Institute at Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital were there to help.

After years of struggling with severe obesity, Beverly turned to the Metabolic and Bariatric Institute at Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital for help. Thanks to a vertical sleeve gastrectomy — a procedure that diminishes stomach size — and a focus on nutrition, diet, and education, Beverly reached her goal weight. The life-changing care she received at Sutter Health led her to pursue a career in nutrition. Today, she interns at the Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital, where she uses her own personal weight loss journey to better connect with patients: “It feels so good that I can help people and relate to them. We have this instant connection.”
