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."

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.
