there was one where are they now episode last year with her where she clearly just began using her other kid as the excuse and crutch after her oldest son died. I didn’t get to see it, but I remember the recap from Reddit :
The Slaton Sisters / Amy Slaton & Tammy Slaton - The 1000 Pound Sisters

I know a nurse who works with Dr Now at his hospital
I know a nurse that works with Dr.Now at his hospital, and I believe she said dottie was actually fairly nice.
I've heard stories of using pullies too. And if all that fails just slam a roll. I imagine some of these belugas have so much nerve damage and general discomfort that they don't even notice or care.

Probably for his benefit. what kind of life is that? constant suffering, cant move, talk, blink, eat, shit, probably in constant aches and pains. no way to live.

It's been awfully quiet lately. They must be shooting season 3. Fail, Tam-Tam!! Fail!! We're rooting for you!

They are...word is that Chris, who was approved for his gastric bypass at the end of last season has since been denied the surgery because he refused to stop smoking. The source is dicey at best though being Soap Dirt...they tend to get a lot wrong and make mountains from molehills. However, if he won't stop smoking, he won't get surgery due to ulcer risk.
Are we though? We all know she won't ever change.
Are you referring to LifeByJen’s molestation by her step-dad story? I think there was a joke about her step-dad trying to make her get out of being bed (she was becoming bed-bound at the time) by using a broom handle to get her up and it slid into the wrong fold causing her to claim he molested her with the broom handle. I don’t think it was serious though.
Ulcer risk alone wouldn’t stop someone from having surgery. Smokers don’t heal like non-smokers and it can take longer than twice the normal healing time for them post-surgery. When it comes to patients who smoke, surgery that can be put off or avoided is. This includes surgery to alleviate pain even if it’s unbearable. Typically someone will have to stop smoking for 6 months before an operation gets the green light.
Surgeries with very long healing times (such as spinal fusions) are pretty much no-go’s even in the worse cases. The longer healing times result in a much higher risk of infection as well. The ultimate reason being is that oxygen doesn’t get to the wound as easily as it would in non-smokers.
Interesting study of 125,000 smokers, several thousand former smokers, and 600,000 non-smokers and their healing post-major surgery

Smoking is an automatic disqualification for WLS and many surgeons will openly test for for cotinine prior to approving surgery or throw a sneaky cotinine test into the long list of other blood tests if they suspect they're being lied to about smoking. Failing that test will cause surgeons to cancel any planned WLS until the patient reaches whatever level of abstinence they require (usually 6 months). While I'm very aware that smokers take longer to heal, the reason for the disqualification in bariatric surgety is indeed anastomotic ulcer risk. According to many bariatric surgeons it's not a case of if a bariatric patient will get an ulcer...it's a case of when. Smoking even years after WLS is absolutely frowned upon as well due to ulcer risk.
*Warning* Med sperging below, proceed with caution. TL;DR located at the end.
I am sorry, but that’s just not what surgeons are worried about when asking if you smoke or testing for cotinine. Additionally, implying it’s a sneaky test or somehow deceptive when testing for continine is a bit comical and a major violation of medical ethics in a physician-patient relationship (which is went over very intensely throughout medical school). Even if a patient outright lies, a surgeon will not go in there with the results in hand and accuse a patient of lying. It would be a more objectionable approach where they explain the test as part of their routine lab work and explain that the results are consistent of those of a smoker. That’s because Cotinine is also detected in non-smokers who are exposed to even light second-hand smoke. Cotinine is also better detected in urine than blood tests with urine tests better able to differentiate between light and heavy smoking.
Ulcers alone, even marginal ulcers, do not pose as large of a risk that would outweigh the benefits of weight loss surgery. When it comes to Ulcers, diabetes of both types are larger contraindications of ulcers post-WLS than smoking. (An additional study focused primarily on ulcers). Considering the effects of diabetes and ulcers, weight loss surgery is without a doubt more beneficial than diabetes and a massive BMI.
Additionally a review of 48 pre-existing studies dating back to 1945 and as recent as 2020 list wound and pulmonary complications as the main unfavorable outcome that correlates with smokers undergoing the procedure. The most deadly, and unfortunately one of the most occurant, was a pulmonary embolism.
This is fundamentally not true. Smoking in general is frowned upon, but the risk of an ulcer related to surgical intervention goes down drastically the further from surgery. With recidivism rates “as high as 16%”, former smokers would be medically followed by therapists if they had a life-long propensity to develop ulcers or any other complication. That is a finding detailed in every single study listed above. Additionally, A 5-year study on interventions after Bariatric Surgery occurring after 1 year in 33000+ patients undergoing bariatric surgery, makes no indication of ulcers being as prevalent or more prevalent years after surgery.
Tl;dr
While ulcers are definitely more prevalent in smokers, it’s just not as big of a deal and definitely not a reason to prevent WLS.

The folds were white on top and purple and rosy brown underneath.
Well, I've been absent since a while before season 2 but but I've finally caught up.
I don't believe Tammy ever lost the 50lbs she needed as they stated at the start of S2. I think that's a TLC lie otherwise those around her would mention it more often when dealing with her. Mighty convenient that she gained it all back very suddenly just in time for episode 1.
I expect more TLC BS in the season to come so it won't matter if she continues to fail, they'll make some shit up.

The brother mentioned it when he was slamming on her. He didn't seem to be reading off a script at that point. He was angry.
I think Tammy is a lost cause.
At this point, even if she lost half her body weight, she'd still be obese. If she got down to 150, her organs and joints aren't going to just bounce back from years of neglect.
I would like to see her get well but we all know....

Amy doing a weird video making fun of Amber. Not really interesting, but seeing as they've gone quiet, we'll take whatever morsel we can get.
Apparently someone on cameo asked her to do it.
Fly trap in the background is a nice touch.
