1000-Lb Sisters: Chris Combs Face Looks So Slim Now After His Social Media Break (See His Unexpected Photo Amid Incredible Health Milestones)

After a long absence from social media, 1000-Lb Sisters star Chris Combs posted an unexpected photo that showed off his incredible weight-loss transformation. 44-year-old Chris made his television debut in 2020, when the beloved unscripted series premiered. He weighed over 450 pounds at the time, and he wanted to do something about his weight. He was inspired by his famous sisters and the stars of the show, 37-year-old Amy Slaton and 38-year-old Tammy Slaton. Though he started his journey after his sisters did, he was able to focus and achieve his goals incredibly fast.

Though the journey hasn't always been easy, Chris was able to achieve his incredible health and fitness goals. The fact that he did it all with a positive attitude and a smile on his face made him a fan favorite. 1000-lb Sisters season 6 ended with Chris achieving another major milestone; skin removal surgery. Losing a lot of weight quickly left Chris with excess loose skin, which presented a whole new crop of health problems and risks. Chris's results have been nothing short of incredible. He recently posted an Instagram photo that really illustrates how far Chris has come.

Chris Was Inspired By His Family

He Wants To Be Around For Them

As mentioned, Chris was inspired by Amy and Tammy's weight-loss journey, but he had another major driving force behind his decision to lose weight. The 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star wanted to lose weight so he could be around for his family. Chris's father was overweight, and he died when he was around the same age. Chris didn't want the same thing to happen to him, so he decided to do something. He also wanted to inspire his daughter, who had started to struggle with her weight. He wanted her to see that losing weight was possible.

Chris was able to lose another 60 pounds, and, during 1000-lb Sisters season 6, Chris received his skin removal surgery. In a clip posted to TikTok by TLC, Chris and his wife, 36-year-old Brittany Combs, meet with Chris's surgeon after the surgery. As usual, Chris was in excellent spirits and wasalready telling jokes.

When all is said and done, Chris will need multiple expensive and risky surgeries to address all the extra skin left behind by his rapid weight-loss.

For Chris, skin removal surgery is actually several procedures. His first surgery was to address the skin around his belly. According to the 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star, he wants to see how well he tolerates the pain before deciding whether he wants to move on to addressing the excess skin around his chest. When all is said and done, Chris will need multiple expensive and risky surgeries to address all the extra skin left behind by his rapid weight-loss.
