Jennifer Ballew knew her weight was affecting her health — especially her high blood pressure, which remained high even while on medication. When a close friend suffered a fatal heart attack, Jennifer knew it was time to take action.

With the support of Longstreet Clinic’s Center for Weight Management, she found compassionate, nonjudgmental care and chose bariatric surgery as a lasting solution. Today, Jennifer has lost 235 pounds, eliminated her high blood pressure, and embraced a more active life. Her only regret is not starting sooner.

It's often overlooked that physicians (and their families) are patients, too. Breast and General Surgeon Dr. Mary Read, along with her husband Chris, wanted to share their experience about how an integrated, multi-specialty group like Longstreet Clinic helped them welcome a healthy baby girl despite a complicated pregnancy. We're happy to have the Reads as part of the Longstreet Clinic family!
