GLP-1 medications aren’t always the best solution; bariatric surgery can be more effective for long-term results. Enloe Health bariatric surgeon Jose Covarrubias, M.D., describes the difference between the two and how both can help people at different stages of their health journeys.

Teams across Enloe Health were treated to the rare view of our campus and the community sprinkled with snow, something we don’t get to see often.

Yesterday’s snowfall kept our Butte County EMS crews in Paradise and Magalia busy — they were shoveling out station driveways, coordinating rides so team members could get to work safely, and managing calls with a designated drop point to keep our four-wheel drive ambulances on the ridge.

We hope everyone enjoyed the rare sight of snow as much as we did!

Enloe Health is highlighting patients and their bariatric surgery success stories thanks to Enloe Health Bariatric & Metabolic Services.

This month we introduce Nick and Autumn Avalos! Nick and Autumn are married, live in Chico and have lost nearly 200 pounds combined. Autumn had her surgery in 2022, while Nick had it in 2023.

Both say bariatric surgery gave them their health back. “My children are my biggest motivation, and bariatric surgery was the reset I needed to jumpstart a whole new life,” Nick shared. Autumn says she is thankful she can model health habits for her family, “I have more energy to chase my kids around and pursue my goals.”
