DIXON, KENTUCKY: '1000-lb Sisters' Season 6 star Chris Combs has made significant progress, shedding approximately 150 lbs since his debut on the TLC show. However, Chris now hopes to lose even more weight. He was left shocked during a recent visit to his doctor when he discovered he had gained weight, despite following a healthier diet than his sisters, Tammy and Amy Slaton.

However, he now faces the option of undergoing skin removal surgery to avoid another major setback. Chris is determined to lose more weight for a better quality of life and to be there for his family for as long as possible. Additionally, Chris wants to set a better example for his children, and the skin removal surgery would be a great start. It's clear that despite his healthy lifestyle, something was missing that led to his weight gain. However, losing the excess skin could help him get back on track with his weight loss journey. Chris is determined to feel comfortable in his body and still needs to lose another 50 to 60 lbs before he can be referred to a plastic surgeon. The TLC show star needs to work hard on his journey if he wants to shed extra pounds.
