TLC's description of the episode read:
"Tammy struggles to cope after surviving a near-death experience, and Amy realises being an overweight mum may prove to be too much. Meanwhile, Chris is desperate to get rid of excess skin, while Amanda offloads some dead weight of her own."
In this week's episode, Tammy told her doctor that she had finally reached her goal weight of 534 pounds - a requirement for her weight-loss surgery. Dr. Smith was left speechless after hearing the news and praised her for her efforts. He also told her that he would soon book an appointment with other doctors to get a final clearance so that Tammy could go ahead with the surgery.
Tammy also needed to have psych clearance from her therapist, but she was worried that Dr. Connie would not give it. She was not open to the doctor and had even left one of the sessions mid-way.
Tammy's family was very happy to hear the news that she was finally getting her surgery but wondered if she would get the clearance from her therapist. She also revealed that she would stay in the rehab for some time after the operation and would then return home.
