'1000-lb Best Friends': Tina addresses her fear of getting weight loss surgery

'Tina really needs to talk to someone about her past trauma. There’s something in her background that has scarred her deeply' noted a fan

For the cast of '1000-lb Best Friends', their journey to get healthy is certainly a joint effort. Each of the women has the others' back while supporting and encouraging one another every step of the way. It allows them to be accountable and make the right choices while having the right support system if they stumble along the way.

While Vannessa and Meghan are back on their weight loss journey, Ashely required a bit of convincing before she could see Dr Procter again. However, the one lagging behind seems to be Tina. She has always been dead against the idea of surgery and sees it as her last resort.
