Tammy's health update on 1000-lb Sisters season 6 episode 1
During her confessional interview on 1000-lb Sisters season 6 episode 1, Tammy shared she had lost four hundred pounds after going to rehab. She pressed gratitude for being able to do the simplest things while stating that other people take these small blessings for granted. Sharing her weight loss journey, Tammy mentioned that she had more mobility now and was heading towards completing her tasks independently. The 1000-lb Sisters cast member told the cameras:
"I'm able to do things I would never have been able to do. I do think people take small things for granted. Being able to cross your leg and put your shoes on. I'm able to sit comfortably on the toilet. I've never been able to do that."
Due to her weight loss, Tammy explained she had a lot of excess skin which was a problem for her. Tammy revealed she might get infected so that's why was looking forward to the doctor's appointment to consult him about the skin removal surgery. Tammy continued stating:
"The only problem is this excess skin is out of control... I get rashes under my stomach and it can get infected. Hopefully, I'm ready for skin removal surgery. But it has not been the same like it was. Everything has changed for me since Caleb passed. I really miss him."
Later in the episode, the season 6 cast member talked about Caleb's passing and how it affected her. She stated she could feel his presence around her and had made a necklace and a ring out of his ashes. Tammy mentioned:
"That way it feels I'm still connected to him in some way. I can tell he's around because I smell his cologne. Every now and then, if you watch carefully my hair would move behind my ear, Caleb."
