Over the years, Chris Combs has become a real fan favorite, and his recent weight loss update confirms his position as one of the show's main draws. The show is technically about Chris's younger sisters, 38-year-old Tammy Slaton and 37-year-old Amy Slaton, but several of the Slaton siblings get screen time. 44-year-old Chris made his television debut on the show in 2020, and he's been a big part of the narrative ever since.

Inspired by his famous sisters, Chris has been on his own weight-loss journey since premiering on the show. 1000-lb Sisters season 6 found him ready to embark on the next step in his health and fitness goals; skin removal surgery. With talk of the show having to restructure to accommodate Tammy and Amy, read on for reasons why Chris has proven he should be one of the beloved show's top stars.

Chris's Season 6 Weigh In

An Incredible Transformation

Chris once weighed over 450 pounds. After having bariatric surgery in 2022, Chris lost 150 pounds and weighed 300 pounds at his last weigh-in. In March 2024, his doctor, Dr. Eric Smith, posted an amazing before and after of Chris on Instagram. On one side is a photo of Chris before he lost weight, and on the right is a photo of Chris finishing a 5k run. During 1000-lb Sisters season 6, Chris weighed 299 pounds, so he only lost 1 pound since his last weigh-in. Despite the setback, Chris lost an incredible 150 pounds since embarking on his journey.

Chris Had Skin Removal Surgery

He's Finally Ready To Move On

Like several of his other siblings, Chris is desperate to remove all the excess skin left behind by his rapid weight loss. He was devastated when his doctor said he wanted Chris to lose another 60 pounds first, but he made it happen. Chris decided to start with the skin around his stomach, and would reassess his chest area at a later date. Chris went in for skin removal surgery during 1000-lb Sisters season 6, but his results remain a mystery.

Chris Is Lucky In Love

He Adores His Wife

While most of the Slatons have had terrible luck when it comes to love, Chris has been happily married to 36-year-old Brittany Combs since 2016. The couple met while they were both managers at McDonald's, and the two have been together ever since. Chris was married once before, and he had two children with his ex-wife.

Chris's daughter and grandchild also live with Chris and Brittany at the time, so it's a full house.

Chris also has three young grandchildren, who he and Brittany raise as their own. When Tammy's new rental house wasn't available right away, she briefly moved in with Chris and Brittany. Chris's daughter and grandchild also live with Chris and Brittany at the time, so it's a full house.

He's Happily Married To Brittany Combs

She's His One & Only

Tammy's lived with many other family over the years, and it always ended in tears. She even lived with Chris at one point, and it went badly. Therefore, it was a little surprising when Chris came to the rescue. However, this loyal hubby is also a caring brother, although he and Tammy have had their ups and downs.

The fact that he's always there for his family is one reason why the 1000-lb Sisters star is such a fan favorite. Chris and Brittany know Tammy very well, so they know what they're getting into. The conflict will provide plenty of drama for the beloved unscripted show, and will be a great reminder of how Chris is ready for more screen time. With the wife he loves so much by his side, he's ready for anything.

Chris Has Drama With Tammy

Plenty Of Entertainment

When his sister, Tammy, needed a place to stay, Chris was there for her. He and his wife, 36-year-old Brittany Combs, had purchased the house next door. The plan was to fix it up and rent it out, but they decided to rent it to Tammy instead. With the hot-headed Tammy living right next door, there will be plenty of drama for 1000-lb Sisters season 7.

1000-lb Sisters seasons 1-6 can be streamed on Discovery+.
