1000-lb Sisters: You’re Working Hard Chris Combs
1000-lb Sisters has Chris Combs, who is trying his hardest to qualify for weight loss surgery. Chris had to stop smoking cigarettes to get the surgery. A lot happened during this time span, and he was back to where he started from.
Chris had an infection on his leg that needed emergency surgery. He did not stick to his diet or exercise after the surgery. This was a hard blow for him. But once he talked with his weight loss specialist Dr. Eric Smith about his setbacks, he found that it was normal.
Dr. Smith told him that having emergency surgery can leave someone in a situation to gain weight. But he told Chris from 1000-lb Sisters to try again. If Chris can get below 400 pounds, he will re-approve him for the surgery.
