Tina fears that it is not 'guaranteed' that she is going to wake up

As Meghan asks Tina to get up and be ready to go to the hospital, Tina, with her shaken voice, claims, "There are literally no guarantees, look that's what you are told." Meghan understands Tina's situation but at the same time, she is in a hurry because they are getting late for the surgery. Meghan tries to calm down Tina and says, "I know you feel like a catastrophe, but there are so many things in this world that can take us out, just by living our everyday life." Not agreeing with Meghan, Tina says, "I'm not guaranteed that I'm gonna wake up and I can't live with the fact." 

Will Tina Arnold not undergo weight loss surgery?

Well, it seems so. Tina claims, "If I make a decision that takes me away from my kids then they are left knowing that I made a decision that caused them to lose me." She further explains in a confessional video, "I'm the one person that something goes wrong with and all of my surgeries I am the one that had a negative side effect and with surgery, the negative side effect would be death." Tina understands that she needs bariatric surgery to lose weight. But at the same time, she knows that things do not always go well with her. She said that if things turn around to be bad this time, she will be losing her life. Distractify reported that Tina has not had her bariatric surgery yet.

Well, Meghan believes that Tina is "not thinking." The '1000-lb Best Friends' star feels aggravated as one of her best friends is unable to cope with the fear.
