Speech-language pathologist! We often recommend alternate liquid consistencies for safety due to aspiration (liquids going into your lungs and bringing germs with them to give you pneumonia). | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-09-07 |
Tammy talked about the other residents ordering outside food often | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-09-07 |
Yes Caleb not Chris. My mistake.
It could easily go the other way though. There are plenty of people who diet to the point of ED and starvation. Sure they have to agree to be admitted into care, but even ordinary hospitals place feeding tubes when patients are severely underweight to the point of affecting their hear... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-09-07 |

Dr. Now is no joke. On "600lb life where are they now", He actually called adult protective services on a man's wife for overfeeding him. The man was gaining TONS of weight despite being completely immobile in the hospital.

This has always confused me. I thought all the food they get are monitored. Portioned out too. I didn’t think they were allowed to bring in outside foods dither. I just assumed it would be same as drug rehab. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-10-07 |
Yup. Their current doctor on the show is okay, but he's just another character in their circus. He's compassionate and always respects them, but Dr. Now would not have laughed off their craziness. He would have brought that entire family in for some SERIOUS tough love before agreeing to perform those surgeries. He woul... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-10-07 |
At this point, those facilities almost seem predatory. So many of those residents were just stuck there. The Dr said that Caleb needed to be in there another year with consistent weight loss before he could go home without the ventilator. It proved impossible and he eventually died. The other residents looked to be in ... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-10-07 |
Exactly this. I'm not arguing that it's a true ED clinic, It's just odd that a place that specialized in the care for people of that size wouldn't regulate their eating at all. What's the use of Bariatric rehab if the reasons they're there aren't being addressed?

How are the facilities predatory? There is no other place for these people to live. They are unable to live independently. Their families are unable or unwilling to care for them. Without residential medical care Tammy and Caleb would have died a long time ago.

I wouldn't expect them to flip the mattresses and pat down the visitors. It's not an addiction facility, but I'd at least expect the staff to actively keep residents from killing themselves with food. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-10-07 |
But how are they being rehabilitated from obesity health issues if the patients are allowed to eat themselves to death?

They ARE a risk to themselves though, AND others if they're bringing them food as well. These people are months away from dying due to morbid obesity. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-10-07 |
That’s not the kind of risk that allows the government to take away your rights though, no matter how we may feel about it.

I mean food addictions are addictions so if that's the clientele they cater to then yea it is an addiction facility and should act accordingly. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-10-07 |
Yes. Me too. I’m glad the subject has come up again. Maybe I’ll better understand | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-11-07 |
It sorta defeats the purpose of them being there right? I would think the staff would intervene. Otherwise its just a place for them to “live” | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-11-07 |
Exactly!! Especially when the clientele is heavily in the throes of their addiction. I really don't think Caleb was in a position to make reasonable decisions about his own health. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-11-07 |
Hi nurse who works with a rehab that has lots of bariatric patients.
Lots of these patients know how to manipulate staff. They’ll ask throughout the day for more puddings, ice creams.. we’re really not allowed to say “no”.. just like a drug rehab where they can sign themselves out.. these patients are freely allowed t... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-11-07 |
Right. At taxpayers expense. I was just released from 30 days of physical rehab and the food was awful! Maybe the families should check out the food before they send their relatives there. If the food is good the patient won’t lose any weight, so just keep looking. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-12-07 |
I almost went into bariactric care 10 years ago, the very one that Tammy was in. I still have the paperwork somewhere in here but because I could still walk and shower [need some help] and cook a meal, I was told waiting lists would be long. I didn't want a nursing home but a place to get things under control.

Food addictions are definitely the hardest ones. Like you don't need heroin or alcohol to live. You need food though. So yeah you have to face your addiction at every meal. I'm not surprised how hard it is to stop once you get to the point they have. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-14-07 |
Very true, It's why it's strange to me that the facilities allow for so much outside food. I get that they're not locked rehab-type centers, but as you said, if they have an entire ward of these patients they should act accordingly. Food addiction is hard, but in the case of Tammy, Amy etc, there's a HUGE trauma compon... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-07 |
Yep other addiction centers have a lot of therapy and help addicts work through what causes the addiction. I haven't seen a food addiction center in the US that has that. They just focus on losing weight. The ones in the UK focus on the whole picture and they are extremely successful but there's not enough to handle th... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-07 |
There was even an episode where Tammy refused to answer deeper questions from her therapist. She just sat there, arms folded like a child. I thought the surgery approval was contingent on making progress with therapy but i guess not. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-07 |
Yeah they really don't take that part seriously at all. Dr Now seems to though from what I've seen. The therapist won't clear them until they do it but a lot stop after the surgery and they frequently fail if they stop therapy. I've noticed the ones that continue the therapy after surgery seem to have better success ra... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-07 |
Dr. Now would not have tolerated the Slayton BS. Especially considering how many family members are involved. Even with Dr. Now, it's interesting how many people featured on 600lb life, get the procedure and eat through their surgeries. The ones that continue therapy definitely show more success. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-07 |
As an RN who did work in a facility with short term rehab and long term care, patients rights are sacrosanct. You can’t deny people food, unless a doctor orders it specifically. Even then, you can’t stop families bringing food, or now people ordering food. I agree it’s a contradiction to trying to help someone with sev... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-16-07 |
So, Tammy's husband is a really good example of the difference between a drug rehabilitation and a nursing home like Caleb was in. Caleb was on a ventilator, and being kicked out, he would have died at home. He needed nursing level care.
With drug rehabilitation, they can be more strict on rules, and kick people out i... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-16-07 |
I get it isn't a locked-down drug rehab-type facility. What I don't get, is how he was able to sit there and eat himself to death while under their care. They knew he'd die without trach care, but, they also knew he'd die eating like that.
Of course, I don't expect them to withhold hospital meals, but it doesn't seem ... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-16-07 |
What I mean is, in a drug rehabilitation facility the only way they enforce the rules is by kicking people out if they violate them. They have no drug and alcohol policies, but people still break them all the time, even in a "locked down" facility, and if they get caught they're out. For Caleb, there was no recourse, t... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-16-07 |
I see what you mean. Sounds like Caleb either didn't have a family to return to, or his family (like Tammy's) was unable to provide the level of home care he needed. So releasing him at all would have been a death sentence. That said, WHO THE HECK was bringing him all that food ?!!?!

I know this sounds harsh, but I don't think Amy can accept that she isn't as knowledgeable as she pretends to be. What's worse is that everyone else has to clean up her messes because she can't take no for an answer. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-08-07 |
I agree with the family. This is a woman who almost died in the back of a van. I don't want to be the one to be the one discovering her body in the morning if she kicks the bucket in the middle of the night. That's actually happened to me. With Tammy's willfulness, and her demands, I would not have put up with her. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-08-07 |
Amy uses the wrong words for half the English language no way in hell would she be able to do the trach care.

I’m with everyone else on here (so far) the family was right. They had already all cared for Tammy at some point but having the trach is a whole other level.
Not to mention some of them don’t seem great with cleanliness (*cough *cough Amy) and not cleaning that or caring for it properly can be deadly.
And it’s just... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-08-07 |
In all honesty it's not the fact that she repeats everything it's more of the fact that she acts like she is the smartest person in the room. Her response always gets me: I'm a grown woman who pays her "dam bills". | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-08-07 |

She has always had a lot of expectation for her family to reorder their lives to suit hers.
