Yes, I meant Tammy! I edited to correct it, thanks for pointing it out! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Good point. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Well I’m def not a dr so I can’t say my advice is medical advice but I know I wouldn’t be shy about going in if you do have pain. Since you have already had issues you are more high risk so better safe than sorry.
I would also talk to your dr about your concerns. They prob have advice on how to keep it from happening or what to look for if it does.
I don’t think liquid diet is going to be the answer unless you wire your jaw shut too lol. not making fun of you just trying to make you smile.
I wish you luck with everything 😊 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Same!! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
I don’t doubt that. She def seemed like there was something going else going on. I know from her sm - I don’t follow her but for awhile people were posting stuff from it on here - she was drinking a lot and I’m pretty sure smoking weed.
I know a lot of people are fine with that - honestly I don’t think it’s a big deal myself and it’s legal where I live - but if you are having mental health issues that can also make it worse. As can drinking. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Hard telling because someone posted a recent pic of Amanda & Misty on here - IIRC it was one they took - not long ago and Amanda looked amazing. For some reason I thought Amy’s most recent hair color was something darker than real. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
If she’s under 200, that means she weighs less than me now!! That’s freaking amazing!!! I wish I had her strength!!! I’m trying to shed some of my excess fluff, but it is *beyond hard.* I’m down about 10 lbs from my highest at my last check, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I gained some back because I’ve been slipping a bit. Two steps forward, one step back, but I’m still trucking along lol!! Hoping to get on some weight loss medication to help with the metabolic syndrome soon. Got denied for any injectables, but there’s still pill options. It’ll be a huge fight with insurance, but it’ll be worth it in the end if I’m able to get back down under 200. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Thanks! Yes I have an appointment with my bariatric surgeon in the morning. He said he is going to have to keep an eye on me to make sure this doesn’t happen again. 676k hospital bill. That’s over half a million bucks. Sometimes I wonder to just what lengths they will try to keep you alive bc it’s costing my insurance a lot of money. This only happened late April so I’m not out of the woods by any means….and a liquid diet does seem a little out of the realm of reality lol and thank you’ | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
The amount you see is not what your insurance actually pays.
All the insurance companies have contracts with the providers and most have a “reasonable amount” they’ll pay or they have a set limit in their agreement.
so the hospital takes the payment the insurance give and makes the rest a “contractual discount.”
That’s why when you look at your EOB it’ll say they billed one amount and then what the insurance actually paid and then the rest minus whatever deductible you owe is discounted. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
And how much is that extra skin? Incredible. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Yup and Tammy was also in the throes of food addiction - people in active addiction don’t usually show the best sides of themselves | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Honestly TLC owes them. They need to pay for her skin removal surgery. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Wow. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Idk about that | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
I'm not saying I don't fully believe it.. I'm just saying I'm dying to see her!! She's gotta feel great. I guess I could have worded that better. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
I checked and she had surgery in 2022 so almost 2 years ago. That’s not really quick, she just had an enormous amount of weight to lose. And she had the more extreme surgery, a DS instead of the more common RNY. A DS has much more restriction, more of the food you eat is not absorbed/bypassed. Due to this, there is also a greater long term success rate at keeping the weight off. BUT -
Now, hopefully she is taking her vitamins and supplements religiously. I had a DS 20 years ago. I did not take my vitamins as recommended. I almost died from severe malnutrition/starvation and had to have my surgery reversed earlier this year. Hopefully that doesn’t happen to her but she’s not known for following medical recommendations so I see either regain in her future or possible malnutrition like I had. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
She is at 225 from her highest of 725. Amy is at 230. If Tammy gets her skin removal, she would be under 200. It is my guess she is carrying around about 50 pounds of loose skin. Tammy is about 5’ tall and Amy is 5’4” tall. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
It seems like Amy forgot all about keeping on track of losing weight when she became pregnant. She would say the baby wants it and ate anything she liked. Her goal was to lose enough weight to be a mother. I hope her boys do not pick up on her eating habits and being obese like their mother. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
50 pounds seems a bit on the high side. I lost 150 pounds and had less than 4 pounds of skin removed during my tummy tuck. By the time you’re having skin removed, it’s literally defatted skin - that’s how my plastic surgeon described it. I suppose if she had upper & lower body lifts along with both arms & both legs and chin, she might lose that much. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
She lost almost 500 lbs, and has been obese since she was a young child, meaning that skin has been stretched for a very very long time. I would not be surprised at all if she took off about 40 to 50 lb of loose skin. If you see pictures of her you can see how her entire body is just loose skin at this point. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
Tammy is 225. Her highest is 725. She is only 5’ tall. I expect she has around 50 pounds of loose skin. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
I have seen them take off skin from people on 600 lb. Life. It is not just the tummy. It is arms, legs and completely around the torso. Tammy is around 5’ tall and I expect she has loose skin everywhere, being over 700 lbs. I expect it to be around 50 lbs. total. I also expect it to take several surgeries. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |
I understand. I was sharing my personal story and experience as someone who had gastric bypass surgery and excess skin removal. From my heaviest to lightest, I lost 180 pounds and have been overweight since my childhood.
I thought my skin would have been way more than 4 pounds and was surprised at how little it actually weighed versus the amount of skin. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-22-08 |

I have already heard Amy say that she is concerned about the weight of Gage. Amy knows the struggle that she has had her entire life so you would think that she would not be bringing home the junk food. It is going to be sad if they develop a weight issue. It looks like all of her family members have an issue with being overweight so now is the time to do something to end it.. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
I would have guessed that Amy weighed a lot more than 230. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
There is about a 0% chance that the boys don't also end up obese. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
I hope that TLC does pick it up, but if not I would like to see a Go Fund Me for her surgery. A surgeon would probably be willing to donate his time for her surgery. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Amy looks like she about 350 at least. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
500lbs in 2 years isn’t really quick?? | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
5lbs a week. That’s pretty quick. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Remember that Tammy lost 200 pounds before she had the surgery. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
She wanted kids more than getting healthy enough first, which is sad. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Well good for her!!! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
i mean, she lost almost 500lbs, which is a whole lot more than 180. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
How great she has stuck to it. I know surgey has helped but could have overeat
Amy could have gone back to the diet after the boys were born, but she wasnt/isn't interested. Tammy's other 2 sisters have done well also | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Dr. Smith could refer her to someone if TLC pay. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
I wish more people would look at it as an addiction. So many people think morbidly obese people are just lazy slobs. It’s just as much a disease as alcohol or drugs. In some ways worse because you can completely abstain from those. You have to eat to live. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Baby seemed to want a lot of cigarettes too :( | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
I knew a woman ages ago. She was extremely over weight. She was pregnant and kept to her healthy diet and lost some weight during her pregnancy. She had a healthy baby and dropped 20 pounds. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
You don't know what 350 actually looks like then | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
I probably overestimated but she is not 250. Maybe 300.. 325?I watch a lot of 600 pound life so I do understand weight. Tammy is way lighter than Amy by a mile now. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Well when I had surgery the weight loss window was 12-18 months with the majority of loss happening by 12-15 months out. So I guess losing more weight over an additional 12 months sounds drawn out to me 🤷♀️ | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
I can’t wait to see her results after skin removal. She already looks so small & like a different woman | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
😆 🤣 😂 I think I saw the older boy crawling along with a cig hanging out of his mouth. Poor wee thing was choking was he was on all 4s and couldn't hold it in his hand😆 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Tammy is the fun one, right? | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Omg! I'm was thinking 1000 lb best friends! I was getting very confused reading the comments. I hope they bring that show back. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
I’m so happy and proud of her! For a minute there I think a lot of us gave up on her sticking to a diet. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-23-08 |
Of course! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
Well on one of the episodes at a Dr’s appt her and Gage were eating peanut butter crackers or something similar. I can understand maybe having a light snack meant for toddlers for the toddler. However, the adult and maybe the child should also be able to go to an appointment without needing something to eat. Imo she may have wanted a snack and was feeding him as well…just cause. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
I had her surgery around the same time and lost 100lbs in 1 year so I think 500 in 2 is fast. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
Im the exact same 😦 Wish I hadnt read the previous comment now im scared haha | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
The same happened with me | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
Feed them a good meal with some protein while home and they should be able to make through an appointment. We are not like a cow that needs to be constantly grazing. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
Don’t be scared. I’m going to try to not to be. Just avoid these things….
Vape
Smoke
Drink
Take NSAIDS
eat excessive amounts. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
Oh damn im screwed 😩 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
There is still time to stop a leak. I can promise you that if you keep drinking and smoking, you will definitely have complications. I thought ahhhh it won’t happen to me!! But when it did….ugh. It was enough to put all that stuff down. I just partake in cannabis and the occasional Ativan or Xanax bc I can’t do anything else. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
I thought was an extremely high number lol | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
I agree. I find posts like OP's cruel and dehumanizing. She is having success and working through a medical team. Stfu if you don't have something good to say.
This is HARD and she doesn't need people saying she is doing it wrong. That is for her doctors to decide. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
Ah see i only smoke cannabis i thought you meant cannabis 😩😂 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
I vape cannabis too ! Panic averted | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
And btw thank you for sharing this with me. Im glad youre doing good now | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
Thanks! Anything I can do to help someone avoid having to go thru what I had to go through….! Nicotine and alcohol and NSAIDs are the things you want to avoid…. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
I got transfer addiction to alcohol, im 18 months sober 🩷 But weed i dont wana quit 😂 God bless u for spreading your message. 🙏🙏 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
i think it depends on the person, i just had skin removal on my arms, bra lift, and extended tummy tuck. I lost 140lbs and it was about 15lbs of skin. When i do my legs, doctor thinks it will be another 5-10 lbs. Everyone is different. I went from a size 20 or XXL to a size 2-4 before skin removal | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
Yeah it’s kind of a scam because that’s what they’d bill a normal person without ins. Not that they’d collect lol. That’s why they are usually willing to make a “deal” if you go into collections.
Have you ever looked at an itemized list on your bill when you’ve been in the hospital? What a scam! They mark things up like 1000%. It should be illegal.
You also have to watch because like when my daughter got her appendix out she got an infection and was there for two weeks. I was with her the entire time and they tried billing us for drs that never saw her and things she didn’t use. Ugh it was ridiculous. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-24-08 |
My thoughts exactly! Who can’t make it through a Dr’s appt without having to have something to eat…makes no sense! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-25-08 |

Duuude 💀💀 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-25-08 |
Dont assume. If she has more weight to lose or weight hasn’t been the same for over 6 months, they’ll want to wait because if not it will undo the surgery. She needs to lose most of her fat first. If not It’ll make more extra skin when she loses more. But doctors won’t approve surgery until she stops smoking because of the risk of life threatening complications. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-25-08 |
The toxic one. Hopefully she’s doing better. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-25-08 |
It’s ridiculous because she’s wasting the opportunity to be a healthy active parent. She really struggles to keep up already. She’s have more energy and increase mobility by losing more. Most importantly it would increase her lifespan. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-25-08 |
I do not know if it is laziness or her weight causing her to slow down. It could be some of both.
Her parenting skills are not that great. Like the time when they were having a barbecue. She sat in her chair and was saying no Gage. Anyone with a 2 year old knows at that age, you have to go to them, which Amanda did. they have a one track mind and tune out everything else. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-25-08 |

Amy looks like she’s gained all her weight back. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-08 |
I have always been overweight but not significantly, that is until after high school. I had a disc herniation that was pretty bad, couldn't tolerate standing much at all, had a desk job, ate take out and drank booze all the time. I got up to 250, had back surgery and then got down to 162 within about 8 months with diet and exercise. (I'm 5'10 so that was a good weight for me). 250lbs is absolutely miserable. I honestly do not know how those over 300lbs do it. I get tired, sweat, clothes never fit right, feels so uncomfortable in your own skin.
I was so worried about gaining weight while I was pregnant, because my disc herniated again and was causing me too much pain to exercise or even work (I had to go out a month early, couldn't walk from nerve compression). I had gained some back and was about 180 when I got pregnant. My OBGYN made me feel like shit, she classified in my problems list "maternal obesity". I tried my best not to gain a lot of weight. And I didn't. I gained 25 the whole pregnancy. Then I saw my daughter come out at 5lbs 12oz and I felt fucking HORRIBLE about myself. I was eating, I wasn't starving myself. But she was so tiny. She was healthy and all, just small. Followed up for birth control implant about 4 months after birth, I was around 200lbs I think. OBGYN made sure to comment that this form of birth control may be less effective in "obese" women. Made sure to stress that word for me lol.
I don't have an eating disorder, but honestly so much of my life growing up was adults micromanaging 10-15lbs overweight and that just made me feel like shit about myself my whole life. My mom put me in weight watchers when I was in 5th grade and I had to write down what I ate. I was just a little chubby, maybe walking a few days a week would have helped. I just want to be sure I don't pass on any of those issues to my daughter, because I am so self conscious and body obsessed. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-08 |
I’m actually so proud of her. She used to bother me so much in the earlier seasons when she’d have Amy do everything and she wouldn’t even try. She looks so good!! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-29-08 |

I'm just glad that Gage and Glenn have level headed people like Amanda, Chris and Misty in their lives. Hell, even Tammy does so much with her nephews. Hopefully Amy will focus on losing more weight and being a better mum to her boys. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-25-08 |

We don't see their lives 24/7
Not my duty or anyone else's to tell someone to and not to have kids.
It's their god-given right.
They have a loving family there to help and to be there.
Most people don't get to say that.
Just ew so incredibly rude.
They have them fed, they play, they have smiles on their faces.
They aren't dead. They aren't in cages. They aren't starving.
