Will Chris have more surgery?

Your doctor denied your request

Losing a significant amount of weight so quickly left Chris with a lot of excess skin. Not only does it not look good, it is uncomfortable and presents unique hygiene challenges. Chris is desperate to have skin removal surgery, but his doctor wants him to lose another 50 to 60 pounds before referring him to a plastic surgeon. With 1000 Pound Sisters Season 6 in full swing, it remains to be seen whether Chris will be able to lose the necessary weight.
