It had been her life's dream to have children, but until a point, it was physically dangerous for her to have any. It was noted that Amy's surgeon, Dr. Charles Procter, advised her to wait two years before trying to start a family with husband Michael Halterman. Amy waited just four months.Source: TLC Tammy Slaton and Chris CombsArticle continues below advertisement Because Amy's pregnancy was so significantly high-risk so shortly after weight-loss surgery, she was expected to be monitored closely by both medical professionals and, it appears, family members. Chris has been actively involved in the sisters' lives, including giving advice for big life decisions such as pregnancy and potentially putting sister Tammy into an assisted living facility. He was there for Amy during and after her pregnancy. Now, he's there every time Tammy needs him. Speaking of Tammy, her own journey has had its ups and downs, and her weight-loss journey has led to concern from other family members. Chris in particular was once certain that Tammy would put in the work to ensure her weight loss was going as planned. But when he learned that she had gained 50 pounds in one month during Season 2, he was shocked. However, he hasn't given up on helping her.Article continues below advertisement Chris is so dang likeable! #1000LbSisters— Terri (@Terri_Tex) December 28, 2021 Chris Combs is married Although Tammy often finds herself in precarious dating situations, Chris is happily married to a woman by the name of Brittany Combs. She's featured on 1000-lb Sisters from time to time, but for the most part, she keeps her life pretty private.

They also share two kids, though for the most part, their life together is off-camera.Article continues below advertisement How old is Chris from ' 1000-lb Sisters' Chris is 41 years old and older than both Tammy and Amy.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chris Combs (@chris.combs.5243) Chris himself has been on a weight-loss journey, and has been doing so in an effort to get his own surgery. The gastric bypass doctor told all three siblings they must lose weight on their own before he performs the surgery — and that seemed to be a powerful motivator. In Season 3, Chris finally had surgery. Now, like Amy, he's on a mission to live more healthy.
