Ultimately, Tammy hoped to get below 550 pounds to qualify for weight-loss surgery.
Midway through 1000-Lb. Sisters Season 4, Tammy told her doctor she reached 534 pounds. Her doctor then explained that she’d have to get the OK from her other healthcare providers before proceeding with bariatric surgery. Ultimately, Tammy attains the surgery; fans will see this later in the season.
Tammy stayed at the rehab center for months after weight-loss surgery so nurses could continue “monitoring Tammy and making sure she’s staying on her diet after the surgery,” a source shared with The Sun.
