View the video below to find out why Naomi is having second thoughts about the surgery.....
Tomorrow at 10/9c, TLC premieres brand-new series FAMILY BY THE TON. Matriarch "Mama" Beverly's family is just like any other family, except they are all morbidly obese. Her daughter Naomi weighs in at nearly 400 pounds, and her weight has kept her from moving forward with life, especially as she considers starting a family of her own. Then, Naomi's cousin Chitoka has been bedbound for years. She cooks, eats, bathes and does all day-to-day activities while barely moving from one spot. Realizing her bed has become a prison, Chitoka is in dire need of a change. Finally, cousin Drew is dangerously obese and now finds it painful to move around. As the sole caretaker for his elderly mother, he realizes if something were to happen to him, she would have no one to care for her. In order to inspire the rest of the family to turn their lives around and get healthy, Mama Beverly undergoes gastric bypass surgery, but complications strike fear into the family. All three cousins must come to terms with what that means to their own weight loss plans... before it's too late.
