In PEOPLE's exclusive clip from Tuesday's episode of 1000-Lb. Roomies, the 41-year-old is visiting her doctor, Dr. Sarvenaz Nouri, alongside her best friend Nesha Harris when she weighs in at 630 lbs.
Nouri explains that Jaz needs to commit to her weight loss journey so that she can qualify for bariatric surgery.
'Our goal is to help you to get you to surgery,' she says. 'For the surgery I want you to be around 500 lbs. So you do need to lose about 130 lbs before surgery.'

Nesha is shocked by the news, noting that 'that's a whole person.' Meanwhile, Jaz isn't feeling confident in her ability to lose the weight on her own.
'130 lbs. in order for me to get this surgery, I feel like I can't do it,' Jaz says. 'That's why I'm here.'
In the clip, she then asks Nouri if Nesha should join in on this health journey. Nesha reveals that the last time she stepped on a scale, she weighed 425 lbs. However, she's not on board with undergoing bariatric surgery like Jaz.
'It's something that I just never saw myself doing,' Nesha says. 'I don't know, I'm just not for it. But that could be our goal together. If you have to be on a certain diet, I'll be on that diet with you. I got you.'

Nouri then asks Jaz how she's feeling about her weight-loss goal. She admits that she's nervous.
'If you don't lose weight and if you don't get the weight loss surgery to lose weight, you will not survive for that long,' Nouri warns.
'Hearing that Jaz doesn't have long to live is scary,' Nesha says. 'I feel like once you hear it from a doctor, it really kind of just makes it that much more real. It hits you. It just hits you like a ton of bricks.'
'And whatever she has to do, I'm in full support,' she adds.
Nouri tells Jaz she believes she can do it. However, Jaz lets out a big sigh in the doctor's office and then shares that she's worried about not being there one day for her loved ones, including her 10-year-old daughter.
'I'm very scared,' Jaz says, breaking down in tears. '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?'
