Brittany, wife of 1000 Lb Sisters star Chris, received the green light for the weight loss surgery she had been waiting for since Season 7. The new season brought happiness to the couple’s life. While he lost weight, she couldn’t take care of herself. Family was always her priority, so she couldn’t join her husband in following a strict diet and workout routine.
Before this season’s trailer, fans got the whiff of her having successful surgery. They were in awe of her new look. After marriage, she struggled with reproductive issues, which is why she and Chris could never have kids. She wanted a child, but he thinks they are too old to have one, since he has adult children and grandchildren.
1000 Lb Sisters fans thought Brittany had shed significant pounds with injectables for weight loss. But she cleared up this and a couple of other things. She claimed she never opted for any drug to shape herself up. She has been consistent with her healthy habits, and surgery is all that was needed to bring down her weight.
Furthermore, Brittany explained that wearing headbands is part of her signature look. She won’t give up on the bands because she is insecure about her thinning hair, so she likes to cover it. She has alopecia that affected her confidence to a great extent. Even though she has thick, long, curvy, beautiful hair, the front top part has less hair. The reality star didn’t hide her health condition, disagreeing with fans that she sometimes looks awful with bands.
In the latest episode of 1000 Lb Sisters Season 8, Brittany and Chris are featured at Dr. Smith’s appointment. The couple finally went to their favorite surgeon to ask whether he could perform the weight-loss surgery of her dreams. While reviewing the test results, Dr. Smith acknowledged that he cannot deny her the opportunity to undergo surgery.
“How in the world could I deny you the opportunity to have surgery?” the expert surgeon told Brittany. The big news elated her and her husband, who was next to her on another couch. He laughed with the good doctor after she revealed what major changes she had made to her lifestyle. Dr. Smith was surprised to learn that she had given up sodas cold turkey.
Brittany had her diabetes checked and found out that her A1C levels had dropped to below 10. For the doctor, leaving sodas cold turkey is a big lifestyle shift. It signaled readiness to make lasting changes, not quick fixes. This mindset has led to her success. Therefore, Dr. Smith congratulated her, saying he is glad to be a part of her weight-loss journey.
Chris joked that living with Brittany has been mildly irritating since she went cold turkey. But the good thing that happened is that Brittany is losing weight through bariatric surgery, for which her husband has saved a lot. He also worked shifts to pay the hospital bills after she received approval. Stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for further updates.
