‘1000-Lb Sisters’ Season 3 Spoilers: Will Chris Combs Be Denied Surgery After Season 2 Approval?
Chris Combs quickly became one of the fans’ favorite people on 1000-Lb Sisters — viewers enjoy Combs’ no-nonsense approach to Tammy Slaton and the process as a whole, and his humorous comments. However, the 1000-Lb Sisters star could be facing some challenges during Season 3. During 1000-Lb Sisters Season 2, Chris Combs’ doctor approved him for gastric bypass surgery, but it seems like that might be a question mark during Season 3, and some leaks suggest Chris’ doctor denied surgery entirely.
Chris Combs qualified for gastric bypass surgery
During 1000-Lb Sisters Season 2, Chris Combs worked harder than ever to lose the weight he gained during his stint with COVID-19. On top of that, he made efforts to push Tammy Slaton to lose weight by sticking to her eating guidelines, among other things.
Ultimately, Chris was approved for gastric bypass surgery at the end of 1000-Lb Sisters Season 2 — a huge win for the TLC reality star. Chris explained that if he’s able to get surgery and Tammy Slaton isn’t, he plans on going ahead with it regardless.
For Chris Combs, losing weight matters because of his father’s death early in his life. Chris wants to remain healthy and be available for his family as long as possible.
“The main reason I want surgery is because my dad passed away at age 57. He was between 400-500 pounds. I am 41. I want to be around my family. They are my everything,” Combs said.
He went on to add that working at McDonald’s made his efforts more challenging because he was accustomed to eating the food around him.
“At the last doctor’s appointment I went in, the doctor said I had to lose 15 pounds. Dieting sucks because I am used to eating everything I cook. I am a manager at a fast-food restaurant, if I am at work, there is food around me,” the 1000-Lb Sisters Season 2 star admitted.
