Update on Tammy from ‘1000-Lb. Sisters’

The season 4 premiere of 1000-Lb. Sisters details Tammy’s journey to rehab. After being “fed up with being sick all the time,” she re-entered rehab at the end of season 3. However, Tammy required more immediate care and was rushed to a hospital within 30 minutes of her arrival because her oxygen levels dropped. There, Tammy was placed under a medically-induced coma and given a tracheostomy tube to help her breathe. 

In 1000-Lb. Sisters Season 4 Episode 1, medical professionals revealed Tammy weighed 717 pounds. This was her highest weight to date at the time. However, at publication, the TLC star doesn’t appear to have the trach inserted anymore. Instead, she’s on oxygen. Season 4 of the TLC series, which is being broken into two halves, hasn’t covered this step in Tammy’s recovery yet.

“It was brought to my attention by a fellow friend here on TikTok that this profile is not only copying me, copying my videos, [and] reposting them, but messaging people asking them for money for drugs,” Tammy says in the post. “This is not me so please, please be careful of who you’re adding and how the name is spelled.” 

The TLC star urged her followers to report and block the account, which spells Tammy’s maiden name with two “Ls” instead of one. She concludes: “I would never ask anyone for money like that so please, please do what you can to get rid of them.”
