As we approach the conclusion of the year, it’s an ideal moment to reflect on the inspiring weight-loss journey of Brittany Combs, a star from 1000-lb Sisters season 6. At 36 years old, Brittany is married to Chris Combs, who is 44 and happens to be the brother of prominent reality television figures, Amy and Tammy Slaton. While the show predominantly showcases the weight-loss endeavors of Amy and Tammy, it has also allowed other family members, including Brittany and Chris, to share their experiences.
Though much about Brittany’s background remains private, her steadfast support for Chris and his siblings is evident. Since her debut on television in 2020, she has consistently stood by her husband through both his struggles and victories. Generally quieter than the more boisterous Slaton family members, Brittany plays a significant yet understated role in the family dynamics and contributes meaningfully to the show’s narrative.
The Path to Becoming a Slaton
Marriage to Chris Combs
Brittany and Chris’s love story began in a workplace setting, where both were managing at a local McDonald’s. Their shared experiences fostered a close bond, leading to their marriage. Chris is in fact Brittany’s second husband; previous to their union, he was married to another woman with whom he shares two children and three grandchildren. Remarkably, Brittany embraces these grandchildren as her own, demonstrating her commitment to family values despite her relatively young age.
Brittany’s Health Journey: No Bariatric Surgery Yet
Not Yet, Anyway
In season 5 of 1000-lb Sisters, Brittany expressed her interest in potentially undergoing weight-loss surgery, following the paths of her siblings-in-law. A comparison of her recent photographs to those from earlier seasons suggests that she may be achieving her fitness goals, even if she keeps her journey private. While she maintains a low profile regarding her health pursuits, it is evident that significant progress is being made.
A Pillar of Support for Chris
Mutual Support in Their Journey
When Chris made his first appearance on 1000-lb Sisters, he was grappling with a weight of over 450 pounds. However, thanks to bariatric surgery in 2022, he has shed an impressive 150 pounds. His doctor, Dr. Eric Smith, showcased Chris’s remarkable transformation on Instagram, providing a powerful snapshot of his progress. Brittany’s consistent presence has been a source of strength for Chris throughout this transformative experience, and should she opt for weight-loss surgery, they will continue to support each other through every step.
