1,000-LB Roomies’ Jaz Says She “Won’t Be Here Much Longer” Without Weight Loss Surgery
1000-LB Roomies' Jaz has an important decision to make.
In E! News’ exclusive preview of the June 10 episode of the TLC series, the 41-year-old and her family have an emotional conversation over her desire to undergo bariatric surgery. After all, while her family is hesitant, she knows it's something she needs to do.
"I don't want my family disappointed in me, but then it makes me scared because this right here is reality," Jaz says in her confessional, alongside costar and roommate Nesha. "If I don't go through with the surgery, I'm not going to be here much longer."
Indeed, prior to her candid confessional, Jaz broaches the topic with her family over Sunday dinner.
"I've been seeing a doctor,” she tells them.” So far I've lost 40 pounds, and I've been taking the weight loss shot."
After hesitating, she adds, "I've been thinking about having weight loss surgery."
Jaz's grandmother quickly shares her concern, with her mother chiming in, "I know a lot of people who had it and was successful, but they're not my daughter."
But despite the pushback, Jaz simply says, "I need ya'll support."
Indeed, in the June 3 series premiere, Jaz had a conversation with her doctor Dr. Sarvenaz Nouri during which he emphasized the serious risks she faces.
“If you don't lose weight and if you don't get the weight loss surgery to lose weight,” he explained, “you will not survive for that long."
He added that she still has "about 130 pounds" to lose before she can get the surgery, as he wants her to be around 500 pounds. And she took his words seriously as she thought of what's at stake, especially with a 10-year-old daughter at home.
“I'm very scared,” Jaz said. “How many days I got left? How many days I got left to be a parent? How many days I got left to be an auntie, a sister, a daughter and a best friend?”
And while Jaz's mom and grandma are worried for her when it comes to taking surgical measures, Nesha is standing by Jaz's side, as she emphasized in the first episode, "Whatever she has to do, I'm in full support."
