    Tammy rocketed to fame on TLC’s 1000-lb Sisters, where her and her sister’s weight-loss journey was documented. She weighed 725 pounds when she was at her heaviest.

    Fans have not only seen glimpses of the physical and emotional challenges of the sisters’ journey, but they also saw Tammy experience several health scares over the years. She underwent bariatric surgery in 2022 and shed a total of 440 pounds since beginning her weight loss transformation.

    “I wised up and got my surgery,” Tammy said in an update she gave People last June.

    “I’m feeling great! I’m thankful to be alive,” Tammy said in an update last year, “and it’s fun to be progressing as much as I am”

    “I was able to make my lungs strong enough to get my trach [tracheostomy tube for breathing] out, and then recently the doctor cleared me to be off my oxygen machine during the daytime,” she continued.

    Tammy was able to forgo being hooked to an oxygen tube and can now walk on her own without the help of a walker.

    “Now I only wear my oxygen at night, along with my BiPap machine,” she told the outlet. “I monitor my oxygen levels throughout the day and keep my machine on hand in case I need it.”

    “I’m feeling great! I’m thankful to be alive, and it’s fun to be progressing as much as I am,” she added.

    As someone who lost a lot of weight later in life, when your skin doesn’t “snap back” like it used to and you end up with a lot of loose skin (though mine isn’t extreme and is slowly diminishing), I hope Tammy is able to have her loose skin removed, so she can have ease of movement and really experience the full benefit of her newfound health, energy, and body. She’s too young to not be able to fully enjoy her new lease on life.
