Tammy weighed more than 600 pounds. Not only was she morbidly obese, but she also battled addiction that hindered her efforts to get healthy. Controlling her unhealthy habits was a challenge for Tammy, who often indulged in alcohol and junk food. The year 2022 brought a life-threatening health scare for Tammy as she was hospitalized with severe pneumonia, requiring doctors to place her in a medically induced coma to save her life.
After going through a health crisis, Tammy gained a newfound appreciation for her life. She became health-conscious and enrolled in a rehabilitation center in Ohio, where she not only shed weight but also became eligible for weight loss surgery. In early 2025, Tammy proudly announced that she had successfully lost over 500 pounds. She also achieved numerous achievements, inspiring her fans with her remarkable weight loss transformation. In the past year, Tammy traveled internationally, confidently walked in public, and started dating new people. She also established personal goals, showing others that her weight loss was only just beginning.
Tammy Had To Wait To Undergo Skin Removal Surgery
Tammy Had To Quit Vaping
After undergoing weight loss surgery in mid-2022, Tammy lost weight rapidly. Initially, she was pleased with her weight loss progress and improved fitness. However, Tammy's excitement waned when she discovered that losing over 500 pounds had left her with excess skin, hindering her from a full-body weight loss transformation. She made the decision to have skin removal surgery, but she faced a setback when doctors advised her to wait until she reached a more stable weight before proceeding. They cautioned that she needed to achieve a healthier weight before being cleared for the skin removal procedure.
Despite feeling disappointed by the delay, Tammy continued to lose weight. Unfortunately, she encountered another roadblock in her journey to becoming fitter. A doctor informed Tammy about potential complications and advised her to quit her vaping habit before she could proceed with the surgery. The doctor suggested that Tammy gradually address her addiction to prevent any issues with her healing process. Ultimately, Tammy chose to wait and likely quit vaping. In 1000-Lb Sisters season 7, she consulted the doctor again, who finally approved her for the skin removal procedure.
