Dr. Lauren Self (Carilion Clinic)

At 287 pounds, one woman had a turning point—but she knew she couldn’t do it alone. Then she met Dr. Lauren Self. From day one, Dr. Self was professional, compassionate, and supportive, creating a personalized plan for lasting success. Over time, with Dr. Self’s guidance, that patient lost more than 100 pounds. “She is my biggest supporter,” the patient shared. “I will always be eternally grateful to Dr. Self.” Her story is one of transformation—but also a powerful example of how the right care provider can change a life.
