Ruth, R.N. - Lost 150 lbs. Working with Advanced Weight Solutions

Before: 320 lbs. Now: 170 lbs.

"I was drawn to Alexian Brothers by its mission and the values that it holds dear. When I came to Alexian Brothers as a patient, I received incredible care from the surgeons and staff. It was the summer of 1999. I was at my heaviest, 320 pounds. I was desperate to find help, to discover a different life. Alexian proved to me that there was hope. They saw the real me. They saw beyond my shame and the painful limitations of excess weight. They motivated me to succeed. I had gastric bypass surgery in 2000 at Alexian Brothers and the procedure gave me the Freedom to Live. Now I work with patients every day that are making those life-changing decisions and moving on to a better life."
