Regarding the family not wanting to help Tammy with her infected trach. It's easy to forget with her having gotten things together so well this season, but she was really abusive to everyone in the family in the past when she lived with them and acted as though they were all obligated to be her carer. I say good on them for not putting themselves in that situation again with her.
Exactly. Tammy has a huge sense of entitlement. But her family should be honest and tell her to make alternative arrangements. I do suspect though, that this is a TLC drama and they are desperate to finally show a more mature side of Tammy.
right, the way she acted last season was disgusting and she’s lucky amy never kicked her out, amy’s been her caregiver for years she’s not obligated to jump in at all
Tammy’s done a great job but Tammy burned bridges with every single one of her siblings. Them not helping her is her own fault. You can’t get mad when people don’t want to take your shit anymore even if you have changed. People don’t forget. And the fact that ALL of her siblings are showing no remorse about it says a lot.
From what I've read, Calab isn't a genuine person. He is 39 years old and has been in and out of MULTIPLE weight loss facilities for over a decade. The word is from people who have known him for YEAR'S, he has been "obsessed" with Tammy. Even describing him with stalker tendencies.
On their behalf, sometimes doctors don't tell you you'll need caregivers until it comes time for pickup. Me and my mother weren't told my dad, who was dealing with cancer, needed a trained personnel/caregiver to deal with his complications if he was going home, until he was GETTING discharged. We'd already done a ton to set things up, talked to the doctor and nurses about how it'll be nice to just have 3 of us at home again, and nobody said anything about him needing a caregiver. They kept him instead, since we couldn't pay to get one of us trained, or a caregiver. He ended up dying in a nursing home of sorts, alone, and we weren't informed until the next day, because that was when they "realized". I'm still upset 6 years later.
Nursing homes are trash When my gramma was on hospice the family was caring for her and a nurse but catholic charities and the nurses were AAALL trynna convince us to stick her in a home
Just because Tammy finally got the surgery, and she finally decided to do what she was supposed to, doesn’t change the DECADES that she didn’t do what she was supposed to. It doesn’t change the decades that she treated them like absolute dog shiz, and honestly she is the reason why her family is just done. This has probably been the least stressful year of their life. She even said “If they want to be in my life they need to listen to me.” Which is how she’s always treated them. She forces them with her attitude and abuses their care, and empathy until they were pushed to the point they were just done. She has no one to blame but herself. She has been a crap person to them, expecting them to give everything while giving them nothing but grief back in return. Her finally doing what she’s supposed to doesn’t change, what she took from them to get there. Now, she’s reaping what she showed. They’re probably dreading her being back. That’s her fault. She wants respect but gives none, and their just done with it.
Listen man, I know exactly how they feel! I had a sister who just been wearing out my kindness for years cause she would do heroine and be the biggest jerk. I had to kick her out last month. It was the hardest thing I had to do.
@@supercharliegalaxyputting boundaries up with our loved ones with addictions is the most important thing to do to stop enabling them, im proud of you!! It took everyone in my life completely cutting me off for me to finally get sober and I hope the same thing will happen to your sis as well ❤
@@kitty-yg1bg Hey that's great you're sober I'm happy to hear that! Sadly I wish I could say the same for my sister. Unfortunately she succumbed to her addiction.
@@ingoc8446 Lemme tell ya, I thought I was the same way as you. That was until how horrible my sister started to treat me when she was doing heroin. She stole from me, she would have all these ne'er-do-wells and junkies come over to the house at all hours of the day which caused our dogs to bark at all hours, She treated me like dog shit. I'm not joking when I say she left the BIGGEST piles of shit in the toilet and refused to plunge it. I'm talking the size was something no human should be leaving. Sorry to get gross but this happened regularly. After her last overdose our mom who enabled her actions died. So when my sister came home I was the new man of the house and I have my dad to take care of. I told her she can't do drugs or have these people over. She looked me dead in the eyes and lied. So eventually I had to make good on my threat and give her the boot. That is when she crossed the line. She looked me dead in the eyes and told me I'm only kicking her out cause I can't "Pick on mom anymore!" I bend over backwards to help our mom when she was actively dying. My sister just drove a wedge between mom and I. My sister chosen her horrid life style over her own family. My sister died on my gf's birthday just months ago, I still feel nothing but anger and a lil bit of hate twords her. Which is extra hard on me cause I'm a Christian...so yeah I'm trying to come to terms and forgive her. My point is I hope you never have to go through what I been going through with my siblings. However, trust me. I don't judge people who cut out toxic family members cause I been through it
Naaaaaaah they don't owe her shit. 😅 she's been nasty to them for a lifetime and they've still helped her. She's burned hella bridges and is hurt that she can't cross them now. While it sucks that they agreed and backed out it's kind of a self-made problem of Tammy's. Proud of her but independence has always been her kryptonite. Takes time to rebuild trust. 🤷🏾♀️ Also, that man 100 percent is "Liz" right now. Clout chase much? Hopefully he's not a garbage bag.
I completely agree. Losing weight doesn't mean loosing the toxic abusive attitude. It's obvious with this stunt she still thinks of her family as doormats. Maybe some will forgive her and help her but for those who don't, I get it. I wouldn't help her either. Change your stank attitude and maybe I'll change my mind🤷🏽♀️
Iirc, they agreed, but didn't know it would require an entire week of training. I think they believed it'd be like an afternoon. Really, it's a lot to ask people to drop everything in their lives and become your caregivers, especially when she's in a place already providing care.
@@ren-cy1gn which also makes a bunch of sense. No one could just drop what their lives for an entire week. Especially, not for a shitty person like Tammy.
@@Shellygrrl2573 No, someone like Tammy deserves to rot away without love and family. Shit people deserve shit people so I'm glad she's with a shit guy. No decent man deserves trash and filth of an abusive land whale that's five times heavier than the heaviest whale ever recorded.
I’m sorry but Tammy doesn’t actually deserve respect from any of the people she’s been treating like crap for years. They have zero obligation to treat her better than she’s been treating them. Tammy has to fully accept the hurt and resentment she has caused first.
I usually agree with Ken in these videos but I think he completely missed the mark. A week of training is a lot of time especially when you have a job and kids and a family and a house to take care of. And Tammy has been so abusive to them before this. I don't blame them for not wanting to give up that precious free time to learn how to take care of her so that when she comes home they have to take care of her even more and deal with her abuse. And she's not an easy patient she gets mad at you for telling her to do what she needs to do and yells at you when you tried to take care of her. I completely understand them not wanting to be in that position and deal with that
Exactly. For so long they looked after her and catered to her. Now all of a sudden she’s doing what she should have and they’re supposed to drop everything again to help her? They had kids, partners and households of their own to take care of.
I get that, but didn't they say they had agreed? I think thats the messed up part. Got her hopes up of going home and then said nvm. Should have just said no, from the beginning.
Honestly Tammy has been much MUCH more than a minor inconvenience, she was nasty and abusive to everyone that cared about, ruined events, constantly made everything about her, proved over and over that indeed she can't take care of herself and showed zero gratitude towards the people that did, she does not deserve respect what so ever, she should thank god that her family even talks to her let alone show her respect. If she has an ouch of respect in her she should know that she needs to put in several years of work to make up for how shitty of a person she has been towards everyone.
I hear you! ... and would she consider dating him if she weren't also a lost cause with nothing to lose? hopefully at least he won't be a feeder. that would be a step up for her!
Tammy has been dependent on her family for years and often goes off on them when they push back against one of her demands. The facility is significant distance away and the person doing the training would have to get time off from work, drive far, and pay for a hotel for a week so Tammy could come home 10 days early. Her family is tired of her always acting like no one helps her when they are always helping her.
9:48 the answer is NO, you do not deserve respect. You earn respect. Tammy has simply disrespected every single person in her life. She belittles, bullies, manipulates and hurts other around her. She is demanding, lazy and rude, then has the audacity to demand respect? Fat chance.
My god, buff seems like he would be the best friend anyone could have. I love him so much. Also ken’s amazing too. Two great pals w a beautiful friendship.
You would think that would be common sense, but Tammy has been nothing but a toxic abusive person. She's always acted like her family should drop everything to be her caregiver. That's why many in her family refuse to have anything to do with her. Just bc u lost weight doesn't mean you lost the stank attitude. I don't blame those who refuse to be a doormat.🤷🏽♀️
Well I think they knew ahead of time that they would need to take the week to train long before it was time to get her and then backed out last minute saying now they couldn’t come get her bc none of them did the training
@@marchcupcake which they shouldn’t have agreed to. But again they shouldn’t have to cater to her every whim. They did it for years and she couldn’t be bothered doing right. Now she has and expects them to want to help her after years of abuse?
Tammy hasn't done anything for herself. She's been taken care of this entire time. The family has no obligation to do anything because of the abuse she caused. I have always said she can't take care of herself and she won't stay successful after rehab, because they are the ones caring for her. People can change, but it's hard for adults to do it, and takes YEARS. She refuses to work on herself
This is the best part of my day every single day. I am so grateful for you both (Dane's laugh in particular) I have struggled through depression for most of my life, and these videos can make me laugh even on my worst days. Thank you.
@@Wigalot I watch their videos daily. Their vids are the best part of my day. I'm not sure why you felt the need to try to correct me in response to my comment expressing gratitude for two creators I watch daily who have genuinely impacted me.
@@Lina_unchained People will always try to pick at others for absolutely no reason. Don't let it get to you girl. I hope things start getting better for you! I feel the same way you do. And funny thing is, they DO post a new video almost every single day lol yay for us.
I found out that if I watch the commercials it actually helps out. I'm a poor ol' lady but I can watch commercials 😅 Wishing nothing but the very best life has to offer both of you guys. 🥰
I have gotten bariatric surgery. She isn't feeling pain, it is just the gas build up from the laparoscopic surgery. They pump your stomach area with CO2 to have room to work under the skin after making small incisions. They remove around 70-90% of your stomach (depending on how big is it). She lost 40lbs because she physically could not gorge herself like she was before. Reducing the size of your stomach doesn't change the natural urge to binge like she was before. This is why the doctors should not have done the surgery on her. She is not mentally mature enough to handle it and wasn't making progress in her mental evaluation. Give it 5 years, she will be right back to where she was before, if not worse.
Ken really missed the mark with this one. Does he expect them to be waiting to serve her for their entire lives? They did it for years while she hurled abuse at them. Now she finally decided to do what should’ve been done ages ago and they’re supposed to be waiting patiently to revolve their lives around her again?
@@Duhbaby2348h they said that they would do it but they thought that they were gonna have time with their schedules going on to do the class because Tammy was supposed to go home and I think like a week or two later they were going to take the class because it coordinated with their schedules all of her siblings have kids and jobs so when they found out that she had to stay for an extra 10 days because of the infection they told her siblings. If you guys can come down here and stay for a week to do the class and then she can go home. Well they couldn’t do that again they have kids they have jobs. One of her siblings like I said we have to stay down for a week and do that class so that means they’re forking out money for a hotel that’s expensive but of course Tammy doesn’t care that her siblings have lives. She’ll just throw a little toddler fit. Plus if Amy did go down there stayed for a week for that training literally Tammy would’ve only had three more days in that facility, so why does it even matter if she stays an extra 10 days she wouldn’t even get to go home right away even if Amy came down and did the training but yes, they had to take a class to be shown how to clean her trach in her neck I mean Tammy should be grateful her family even agreed to take the class because she wouldn’t of been able to leave the facility because it has to be properly cleaned and she can’t do it
I like who Tammy talks like it's a privilege to have her in their lives 🙃 "if my family wants me in their lives, then they have to listen to me" no they don't 🤣 tf are you talking about?
Saying Tammy can’t trust and rely on them is so silly. She’s done nothing but been a jerk to everyone for so long. Then she can’t even rely on herself to walk, so how can she demand everyone give up their lives even more for her
Yeah Ken was off on this one.. the best thing the family can do is not let her got back to treating them like slaves. Show her your done jumping when she says jump. So she keeps working to take care of herself. Like Dr Phil always says stop enabling them. It's tuff love
@@Mulletmans every so often, Ken has a cold take. This one and the Try Guys one. The try guys one actually stopped me from watching his videos for a while because I didn't know if I wanted to support him after he made fun of a group of friends that had been betrayed. Now, it just seems like there are just some moments where he's a bit off.
They have helped Tammy left and right and she’s abused them and acted as if she’s entitled to their help. If I had to go through what they went through, I also would have told her she on her own.
Apparently he and his cousin were fans and his cousin supposedly found the information for the facility she was at, and he went to the facility, but when he first got to the facility, he was in very bad health. That is why he didn’t come out of his room for the first few months.
maybe she is just aware of her value in the dating marketplace. chubby chasers, feeders and people who want to be adjacent to someone "TLC famous" is about all she can draw!
I don’t blame the family for not wanting to help. I had to care for my overweight grandmother who also has a temper but not as bad as Tammy. It’s a lot of work, from having to convince her to eat the healthy food that was made, to cleaning her, to slowly getting her to eat on a normal schedule, and keeping composed whenever she lashed out. The cleaning part wasn’t hard but the verbal interactions were harder. My mom wondered how I got along with grandma without getting (visibly) mad at her a single time. Cause I got mad, I just wouldn’t show it. So with someone like Tammy caring for her would be dang difficult, cause you probably can’t focus on your job of caring for Tammy without having some sort of argument. That’s exhausting.
Me and my partner just found this channel and you've got another subscriber here. We love this show and your take on it is hilarious. Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
me and my first husband got engaged really fast like Tammy and her man ... were married by 6 months and ended up spending 20 years together....no one ever knows how anything will work out, until you try.
I don’t think people really understand how hard it is to take care of someone you love that also happens to not be the nicest patient to take care of. Whether that’s just their personality in the first place or like in my case, health problems led to brain damage and that changed my father. He is no longer the same man that raised me and that’s not his fault. To say it is taxing on your mental health and happiness is an understatement… the amount of times I’ve had full blown panic attacks in the shower is probably in the hundreds at this point 😂 It’s hard to wrap your head around how they feel so negatively about helping and taking care of Tammy.. unless you’ve been there.. and then you completely understand it.
Around 1:00 my mom had the surgery and she was walking right after surgery. It’s painful but not in the sense that you can’t walk, it’s just your stomach, she could barely eat or drink anything after the surgery (she didn’t get a liquid diet) and basically had a “dumping” where she would almost cry puking everything out. She has also puked out blood, but she had to get a second surgery for scar tissue as well and overall she regrets her entire operation because she can eat anything at all without being full or having pain. (idk the word for dumping in English but that’s what it’s called if you have to puke out your food immediately with an immense amount of pain and that can happen always after surgery). She’s also underweight with no way to gain the weight back because she can’t eat more. She wasn’t that fat, 90kg, but she did it to hopefully relieve some pain on her feet and back (disabled) but it only made everything worse due to fat loss and having absolutely no “cushioning” and she had stomach issues before. She would’ve reversed it if it was possible so that’s why I can’t really support these surgeries when someone is healthy enough to lose the weight on their own.
@@theoverunderthinker There's often a disconnect between people who meet when one person knows a lot about the other, like in these celebrity-type situations. If he knew her, followed her story for a while before meeting her, then he already had a version of her in his head. He knew the online Tammy, the TV Tammy.
@@Kanyon85 it might be just as true that if you know someone from the office, you know "office Susan" and not "real Susan" (I just chose the name Susan at random) I am not saying his motives are pure, I am wondering aloud why a man with pure motives and his life together would bother with Tammy at all. It's not dissimilar to the adult lady that looks like a little kid that I think was also on a TLC series: how could someone be attracted to her and not be a little off? She did nothing wrong, but the reality is what it is. Tammy is not a particularly nice or gentle person, she is aggressively mean to her family. She doesn't have her life together and is entitled at the same time. he could be everything that people say, and she is still not too good for him. 🤷♂🤷♂ you know why I think that? because nobody normal has shown any interest in her. the market determines your dating value, not your fans.
@@theoverunderthinker A whoooole lot of settling, and a lot of curbed expectations for what is the most likely path in your future. That's the reality for Tammy.
It wasn't a time skip, it's a month after her surgery and a year since being in rehab. Lol y'all are wild! Adding a whole year and seeing if she lost more weight 😅 Love these!! Also find myself mimicking you (Ken) when it comes to my toddler, "Look at him!" "What is that!?!" 😅
"If they don't wanna take care of me..." She says it like she just outright EXPECTS her family to cater to her. Tammy, no one wants to be forced into a caregiver role. There are people who get paid to do that as their full-time job because, guess what, it's a lot of mf work to take care of someone.
19:12 Caleb's baby picture. I just imagine the scenario that went down here for this pic to be taken. It's like: Caleb's Mom - "Say cheeeese~!" Baby Caleb in a deep, growly voice - "Caaaake~!"
"we don't apologize after fights" literally my extended family. if you even tried to apologize to grandma, she would just say "well, you shouldn't have done it in the first place."
even though tammy was incredibly abusive to all of her family members and constantly blamed everyone but herself for her problems, she's also mentally unwell and is just now getting better. with all of this, im only hoping with her continued recovery that she'll realize how many bridges she's burned and why her family doesn't necessarily bend over backwards and drop everything in their own lives for her.
So first of all I'm glad Tammy got the surgery! But as someone who has both received and given at home medical treatment, she needs to wait for her trach to come out. That becomes a full time job and yeah it sucks not being home but she is being selfish. And to answer Tammy's question if she deserves respect... no, no she does not. Respect is earned and she hasn't done anything to earn anyone's respect.
Shes already out post surgery and back to vaping and eating fast food. She is walking but was filmed doing those things so she will be back in the hospital soon. I knew she would go back to her old ways.
I had such high hopes. I hoped that seeing herself losing weight would motivate her but maybe seeing her weight drop after doing nothing after the surgery made her think she could do whatever she wanted and still lose weight.
Considering if you follow her Instagram and that she's the smallest she's ever been. Shes just over 400 pounds from 717 pounds from before. Anyone can have a takeaway as a treat and it be put out of context. She's doing brilliantly. How about you shut up about things you clearly know nothing about?
They have their own lives however they choose to live it. They aren’t obligated to take care of her. She has had a past with all of them. I wouldn’t let her back in my home either.
10:05 Usually, the people who don't have anything to do are depressed due to the fact that nothing important is going on in their life. That's what stops them. It's not that they don't want to do it. The depression skews their perception and makes their goal seem like a much bigger task than it truly is.
I think it’s not just Tammy burning bridges (which I agree she did) but after she was put in care everybody arranged their lives for themselves. And now this woman who burned bridges with them wants to come back and be taken care of all the same? Nah. After what she put them through, it is NOT just about her doing what she needs to do. It’s that nobody in her life can trust her not to disrespect and mistreat them while demanding care.
I say good on them for not taking up Tammy's trach training, she abused them and basically made them do shit for her so they put their foot down. She can deal with it instead of crying about it cause, yes, she IS an awful person- weight loss or not. Karma goes around, comes around.
I used to weigh 600 lb in high school and I thank God every single day that I decided to get in shape. I'm 6ft 5 so it really didn't look like I weighed that much but I could definitely tell it was putting a strain on my body. I'm glad I never got to the point where I had to have a tube in my throat for breathing purposes.
People get trachea doesn’t mean you need a tech for home but the family would need to be trained on how to keep it clean. Infected would mean needing the hospital and with her previous medical insanity I’m not surprised a doctor Motumboed that road-trip - former paramedic
The family doesn't really want to help Tammy any more. They want to do the bare minimum because of the abuse that she's put them through. It's good of them to even do that.
Are we sure TLC didn't borrow a lifetime writer. Because two addicts getting engaged in the parking lot of the rehab facility. And the one addict stalked the other one. It seems very lifetime special 😂.
12:32 in nursing homes, they store the trays of food for meals in those and then push them through the halls to the various resident's rooms. they are probably in the dining hall.
"If my family wants to be in my life, they have to do what I say" is pretty freaking manipulative! For most people, family can be in their life unless the other person/people treats them like carp for real.
Yes and no, Ken. We had veins removed from our stomach, not for weight loss reasons, and we felt the recovery crawl. This is something we continue to struggle with, we struggle to eat. We have hopes for Tammy's recovery !
Family love can be unconditional, but not when you've been taking advantage of the family's help to the point where you feel entitled to their support, regardless of what's going on in the families lives. Tammy doesn't seem thankful for all their efforts of housing her, regardless of the cameras there or not. Her family must have a greaaat amount of patience, there are other families that would've given up on her and she would've been in the streets, but for her to give them the ultimatum on camera, "If they want to be part of my life, then they have to listen to me." ...oooof sis, if you want to be part of their life you also have to listen to them and respect when they say no....i wonder if TLC or Tammy would show us that she actually is thankful for not giving up on her, all the efforts of her family and letting her die or left on the streets....me being hopeful I guess
I've been thinking about this for a while. If pre traque Tammy and Ed got in an argument, who would overpower whom? Ed's a little shit who likes to talk over people but Tammy gets loud and I don't think she'd just roll over and let Ed talk over her. Who do y'all think would win?
Honestly I understand where the family is coming from. They have been enabling Tammy for so long and Tammy has used that to her advantage, its time she actually does shit for herself. It's funny when you actually are in it alone, how much that motivates Tammy to get shit done....
Amy talking about sepsis and possibly dying from it made me happy. It's good to know that people understand the seriousness. A girl at my school had a cold that unknowingly turned into a lung infection. Despite the cold, she went on a school trip to New York where she actually died from sepsis. It hit national news in our country and the parents filed a wrongful death case against the teachers. The teachers weren't found liable but one retired and the other took a leave after the fact. The teacher that retired came back to talk about sepsis and the other one did a talk about paranoia.
@@ZsiZsiSzabad it's sad because a lot of the kids that were on the trip were approached by the news. The teachers were preparing to possibly take her to a doctor but she died over that night.
@@eleanorcooke7136 it’s a terrible situation, I read several articles about it. I guess there’s some discrepancy where she told her mom she had requested medical attention but the adult chaperones claim she didn’t? Just a horrible situation all around, I’m glad the coroner decided to promote education on sepsis. Such a tragedy, it had to be hard for everyone involved.
@@ZsiZsiSzabad from what I heard, the parents think she was asking to go to the doctors and the teachers think she was asking if it was possible. We are from England so we don't really know how healthcare works for visitors in the US.
I also disagree with Ken. Caring for another family member takes up so much time. Eventually it comes down to you spending so much time looking after others that you come to resent and hate that family member, even if they aren't abusive like tammy. Sometimes its better to walk away or keep some distance.
I love it, vid posted 2 mins ago and already 150 likes. You best believe we like the video before watching, because we love Ken and Buff in this house❤
Addicts should remain abstinent for one year before engaging in any romantic relationships, because such relationships lead to drama, drama leads to stress, and stress leads to cravings. More especially, Tammy's new man is addicted to the same substance as she is. Any time he relapses, or slips up, it's going to be tempting for her when she sees him eating unhealthy foods.
Lol when you guys joked that they were gonna bury Tammy right next to Little Bit I laughed so hard because that means they would be burying her in the back hard lmao. They are from kentuckt so that wouldn't shock me.
tammy thinks that unless she's the ruler of the family and gets to tell everyone to live their lives according to her wishes, then her family hates her and doesn't want her around. You can't have those kinds of people in your life
Tammy looks legit cute when she gets engaged and holds her hand and does that shy giggle - she's so happy and her family should be supportive of her happiness no matter how many times she has been dating guys

@@dakotareid1566 Well, sorry to hear that. Thank you for the education (not being sarcastic). I'm just saying how they stated it in the video, it was possibly to just bring up drama, but who knows really other than Tammy and everyone else around her. Thanks again for the education.
Regarding the family not wanting to help Tammy with her infected trach. It's easy to forget with her having gotten things together so well this season, but she was really abusive to everyone in the family in the past when she lived with them and acted as though they were all obligated to be her carer. I say good on them for not putting themselves in that situation again with her.
Exactly. Tammy has a huge sense of entitlement. But her family should be honest and tell her to make alternative arrangements. I do suspect though, that this is a TLC drama and they are desperate to finally show a more mature side of Tammy.
Do you think she'd be that way if she grew up in a different enviroment?
agreed
right, the way she acted last season was disgusting and she’s lucky amy never kicked her out, amy’s been her caregiver for years she’s not obligated to jump in at all
So true
Tammy’s done a great job but Tammy burned bridges with every single one of her siblings. Them not helping her is her own fault. You can’t get mad when people don’t want to take your shit anymore even if you have changed. People don’t forget. And the fact that ALL of her siblings are showing no remorse about it says a lot.
Agree she did this and won't take responsibility for it

@@Jaye3rd89highly... what a mess😬
I mean its not really a big deal if hes stalking her. impossible to kidnap without a forklift so unless he is certified it ain't a threat
eww
On their behalf, sometimes doctors don't tell you you'll need caregivers until it comes time for pickup. Me and my mother weren't told my dad, who was dealing with cancer, needed a trained personnel/caregiver to deal with his complications if he was going home, until he was GETTING discharged. We'd already done a ton to set things up, talked to the doctor and nurses about how it'll be nice to just have 3 of us at home again, and nobody said anything about him needing a caregiver. They kept him instead, since we couldn't pay to get one of us trained, or a caregiver. He ended up dying in a nursing home of sorts, alone, and we weren't informed until the next day, because that was when they "realized". I'm still upset 6 years later.
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
They didn't realize until a day later!?
Nursing homes are trash
When my gramma was on hospice the family was caring for her and a nurse but catholic charities and the nurses were AAALL trynna convince us to stick her in a home
Oh Jesus... that's awful. I'm so sorry you and your family had to go through that. That's tragic
Just because Tammy finally got the surgery, and she finally decided to do what she was supposed to, doesn’t change the DECADES that she didn’t do what she was supposed to. It doesn’t change the decades that she treated them like absolute dog shiz, and honestly she is the reason why her family is just done. This has probably been the least stressful year of their life. She even said “If they want to be in my life they need to listen to me.” Which is how she’s always treated them. She forces them with her attitude and abuses their care, and empathy until they were pushed to the point they were just done. She has no one to blame but herself. She has been a crap person to them, expecting them to give everything while giving them nothing but grief back in return.
Her finally doing what she’s supposed to doesn’t change, what she took from them to get there. Now, she’s reaping what she showed. They’re probably dreading her being back. That’s her fault. She wants respect but gives none, and their just done with it.
Listen man, I know exactly how they feel! I had a sister who just been wearing out my kindness for years cause she would do heroine and be the biggest jerk. I had to kick her out last month. It was the hardest thing I had to do.
@@supercharliegalaxyputting boundaries up with our loved ones with addictions is the most important thing to do to stop enabling them, im proud of you!! It took everyone in my life completely cutting me off for me to finally get sober and I hope the same thing will happen to your sis as well ❤
@@kitty-yg1bg Hey that's great you're sober I'm happy to hear that! Sadly I wish I could say the same for my sister. Unfortunately she succumbed to her addiction.
@@ingoc8446 Lemme tell ya, I thought I was the same way as you. That was until how horrible my sister started to treat me when she was doing heroin. She stole from me, she would have all these ne'er-do-wells and junkies come over to the house at all hours of the day which caused our dogs to bark at all hours, She treated me like dog shit. I'm not joking when I say she left the BIGGEST piles of shit in the toilet and refused to plunge it. I'm talking the size was something no human should be leaving. Sorry to get gross but this happened regularly. After her last overdose our mom who enabled her actions died. So when my sister came home I was the new man of the house and I have my dad to take care of. I told her she can't do drugs or have these people over. She looked me dead in the eyes and lied. So eventually I had to make good on my threat and give her the boot. That is when she crossed the line. She looked me dead in the eyes and told me I'm only kicking her out cause I can't "Pick on mom anymore!" I bend over backwards to help our mom when she was actively dying. My sister just drove a wedge between mom and I. My sister chosen her horrid life style over her own family. My sister died on my gf's birthday just months ago, I still feel nothing but anger and a lil bit of hate twords her. Which is extra hard on me cause I'm a Christian...so yeah I'm trying to come to terms and forgive her. My point is I hope you never have to go through what I been going through with my siblings. However, trust me. I don't judge people who cut out toxic family members cause I been through it
Naaaaaaah they don't owe her shit. 😅 she's been nasty to them for a lifetime and they've still helped her. She's burned hella bridges and is hurt that she can't cross them now. While it sucks that they agreed and backed out it's kind of a self-made problem of Tammy's. Proud of her but independence has always been her kryptonite. Takes time to rebuild trust. 🤷🏾♀️
Also, that man 100 percent is "Liz" right now. Clout chase much? Hopefully he's not a garbage bag.
I completely agree. Losing weight doesn't mean loosing the toxic abusive attitude. It's obvious with this stunt she still thinks of her family as doormats. Maybe some will forgive her and help her but for those who don't, I get it. I wouldn't help her either. Change your stank attitude and maybe I'll change my mind🤷🏽♀️
@@Shellygrrl2573 Exactly!! 👏🏾 I'm glad her family finally put their foot down (sort of.) Lol
Iirc, they agreed, but didn't know it would require an entire week of training. I think they believed it'd be like an afternoon. Really, it's a lot to ask people to drop everything in their lives and become your caregivers, especially when she's in a place already providing care.
@@ren-cy1gn which also makes a bunch of sense. No one could just drop what their lives for an entire week. Especially, not for a shitty person like Tammy.
@@Shellygrrl2573 No, someone like Tammy deserves to rot away without love and family. Shit people deserve shit people so I'm glad she's with a shit guy. No decent man deserves trash and filth of an abusive land whale that's five times heavier than the heaviest whale ever recorded.
I’m sorry but Tammy doesn’t actually deserve respect from any of the people she’s been treating like crap for years. They have zero obligation to treat her better than she’s been treating them. Tammy has to fully accept the hurt and resentment she has caused first.
Wow. Your fucked...
If you act like an ass, you'll be treated like an ass. Nobody wants to deal with a person like Tammy and it's not just her health stuff...
"I'm not just sitting at home eating ice cream and potato chips people, even though my ass might look like it."
best line
I usually agree with Ken in these videos but I think he completely missed the mark. A week of training is a lot of time especially when you have a job and kids and a family and a house to take care of. And Tammy has been so abusive to them before this. I don't blame them for not wanting to give up that precious free time to learn how to take care of her so that when she comes home they have to take care of her even more and deal with her abuse. And she's not an easy patient she gets mad at you for telling her to do what she needs to do and yells at you when you tried to take care of her. I completely understand them not wanting to be in that position and deal with that
Exactly. For so long they looked after her and catered to her. Now all of a sudden she’s doing what she should have and they’re supposed to drop everything again to help her? They had kids, partners and households of their own to take care of.
FACTS 💯 🎯
I get that, but didn't they say they had agreed? I think thats the messed up part. Got her hopes up of going home and then said nvm. Should have just said no, from the beginning.
@@MisaelMatute76 it doesn’t matter if they “agreed”. Tammy “agreed” to lose the weight and get the surgery like 12 seasons ago and….
@@MisaelMatute76 also Tammy’s a b-itch and doesn’t deserve their help anymore. She is literally a big girl and can take care if her own big fat ass
Honestly Tammy has been much MUCH more than a minor inconvenience, she was nasty and abusive to everyone that cared about, ruined events, constantly made everything about her, proved over and over that indeed she can't take care of herself and showed zero gratitude towards the people that did, she does not deserve respect what so ever, she should thank god that her family even talks to her let alone show her respect.
If she has an ouch of respect in her she should know that she needs to put in several years of work to make up for how shitty of a person she has been towards everyone.
Tammy needs to ask herself, would this man have even considered dating me if he weren’t essentially a lost cause with nothing to lose?
I hear you! ... and would she consider dating him if she weren't also a lost cause with nothing to lose?
hopefully at least he won't be a feeder. that would be a step up for her!
@@theoverunderthinker good question as well!
Tammy has been dependent on her family for years and often goes off on them when they push back against one of her demands. The facility is significant distance away and the person doing the training would have to get time off from work, drive far, and pay for a hotel for a week so Tammy could come home 10 days early. Her family is tired of her always acting like no one helps her when they are always helping her.
9:48 the answer is NO, you do not deserve respect. You earn respect. Tammy has simply disrespected every single person in her life. She belittles, bullies, manipulates and hurts other around her. She is demanding, lazy and rude, then has the audacity to demand respect? Fat chance.
My god, buff seems like he would be the best friend anyone could have. I love him so much. Also ken’s amazing too. Two great pals w a beautiful friendship.
Well, if she only had to stay for 10 more days, and training is a week, what would be the point be for them to do it, if she can just wait 3 days?
You would think that would be common sense, but Tammy has been nothing but a toxic abusive person. She's always acted like her family should drop everything to be her caregiver. That's why many in her family refuse to have anything to do with her. Just bc u lost weight doesn't mean you lost the stank attitude. I don't blame those who refuse to be a doormat.🤷🏽♀️
Well I think they knew ahead of time that they would need to take the week to train long before it was time to get her and then backed out last minute saying now they couldn’t come get her bc none of them did the training
@@marchcupcake which they shouldn’t have agreed to. But again they shouldn’t have to cater to her every whim. They did it for years and she couldn’t be bothered doing right. Now she has and expects them to want to help her after years of abuse?
Exactly! So foolish...
Tammy hasn't done anything for herself. She's been taken care of this entire time. The family has no obligation to do anything because of the abuse she caused.
I have always said she can't take care of herself and she won't stay successful after rehab, because they are the ones caring for her.
People can change, but it's hard for adults to do it, and takes YEARS. She refuses to work on herself
How did this lady find two relationships before I can even keep one? 😂

Tammy isn’t owed anything. She’s a big girl and needs to get her own life in order. Grow up Tammy and be responsible of your own self for once.
I have gotten bariatric surgery. She isn't feeling pain, it is just the gas build up from the laparoscopic surgery. They pump your stomach area with CO2 to have room to work under the skin after making small incisions. They remove around 70-90% of your stomach (depending on how big is it). She lost 40lbs because she physically could not gorge herself like she was before. Reducing the size of your stomach doesn't change the natural urge to binge like she was before. This is why the doctors should not have done the surgery on her. She is not mentally mature enough to handle it and wasn't making progress in her mental evaluation. Give it 5 years, she will be right back to where she was before, if not worse.
I thought she was seeing a psychiatrist as well, do deal the mental aspects of it. Hope you’re doing well after your surgery btw
Ken really missed the mark with this one. Does he expect them to be waiting to serve her for their entire lives? They did it for years while she hurled abuse at them. Now she finally decided to do what should’ve been done ages ago and they’re supposed to be waiting patiently to revolve their lives around her again?
If they promised they should have done it. Don’t agree to shit you don’t really want to do.
@@Duhbaby2348h I don't think they knew it took a week tbh
@@Duhbaby2348h they said that they would do it but they thought that they were gonna have time with their schedules going on to do the class because Tammy was supposed to go home and I think like a week or two later they were going to take the class because it coordinated with their schedules all of her siblings have kids and jobs so when they found out that she had to stay for an extra 10 days because of the infection they told her siblings. If you guys can come down here and stay for a week to do the class and then she can go home. Well they couldn’t do that again they have kids they have jobs. One of her siblings like I said we have to stay down for a week and do that class so that means they’re forking out money for a hotel that’s expensive but of course Tammy doesn’t care that her siblings have lives. She’ll just throw a little toddler fit. Plus if Amy did go down there stayed for a week for that training literally Tammy would’ve only had three more days in that facility, so why does it even matter if she stays an extra 10 days she wouldn’t even get to go home right away even if Amy came down and did the training but yes, they had to take a class to be shown how to clean her trach in her neck I mean Tammy should be grateful her family even agreed to take the class because she wouldn’t of been able to leave the facility because it has to be properly cleaned and she can’t do it
I like who Tammy talks like it's a privilege to have her in their lives 🙃 "if my family wants me in their lives, then they have to listen to me" no they don't 🤣 tf are you talking about?
Saying Tammy can’t trust and rely on them is so silly. She’s done nothing but been a jerk to everyone for so long. Then she can’t even rely on herself to walk, so how can she demand everyone give up their lives even more for her
Yeah Ken was off on this one.. the best thing the family can do is not let her got back to treating them like slaves. Show her your done jumping when she says jump. So she keeps working to take care of herself. Like Dr Phil always says stop enabling them. It's tuff love
@@Mulletmans every so often, Ken has a cold take. This one and the Try Guys one. The try guys one actually stopped me from watching his videos for a while because I didn't know if I wanted to support him after he made fun of a group of friends that had been betrayed. Now, it just seems like there are just some moments where he's a bit off.
They have helped Tammy left and right and she’s abused them and acted as if she’s entitled to their help. If I had to go through what they went through, I also would have told her she on her own.
Apparently he and his cousin were fans and his cousin supposedly found the information for the facility she was at, and he went to the facility, but when he first got to the facility, he was in very bad health. That is why he didn’t come out of his room for the first few months.
I feel that since Tammy has such a low self esteem, that she is settling for anyone that bats an eye on her even if they are bad news or sus
maybe she is just aware of her value in the dating marketplace. chubby chasers, feeders and people who want to be adjacent to someone "TLC famous" is about all she can draw!
When stalker man wheeled in I was waiting on Chris Hansen to step and and ask “could u roll over here please”
I don’t blame the family for not wanting to help. I had to care for my overweight grandmother who also has a temper but not as bad as Tammy. It’s a lot of work, from having to convince her to eat the healthy food that was made, to cleaning her, to slowly getting her to eat on a normal schedule, and keeping composed whenever she lashed out. The cleaning part wasn’t hard but the verbal interactions were harder. My mom wondered how I got along with grandma without getting (visibly) mad at her a single time. Cause I got mad, I just wouldn’t show it. So with someone like Tammy caring for her would be dang difficult, cause you probably can’t focus on your job of caring for Tammy without having some sort of argument. That’s exhausting.
Me and my partner just found this channel and you've got another subscriber here. We love this show and your take on it is hilarious. Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
me and my first husband got engaged really fast like Tammy and her man ... were married by 6 months and ended up spending 20 years together....no one ever knows how anything will work out, until you try.
I don’t think people really understand how hard it is to take care of someone you love that also happens to not be the nicest patient to take care of. Whether that’s just their personality in the first place or like in my case, health problems led to brain damage and that changed my father. He is no longer the same man that raised me and that’s not his fault. To say it is taxing on your mental health and happiness is an understatement… the amount of times I’ve had full blown panic attacks in the shower is probably in the hundreds at this point 😂 It’s hard to wrap your head around how they feel so negatively about helping and taking care of Tammy.. unless you’ve been there.. and then you completely understand it.
I help take care of my granny with Alzheimer's and it's so emotionally exhausting. She's not the same person and she gets mean
Around 1:00 my mom had the surgery and she was walking right after surgery. It’s painful but not in the sense that you can’t walk, it’s just your stomach, she could barely eat or drink anything after the surgery (she didn’t get a liquid diet) and basically had a “dumping” where she would almost cry puking everything out. She has also puked out blood, but she had to get a second surgery for scar tissue as well and overall she regrets her entire operation because she can eat anything at all without being full or having pain.
(idk the word for dumping in English but that’s what it’s called if you have to puke out your food immediately with an immense amount of pain and that can happen always after surgery). She’s also underweight with no way to gain the weight back because she can’t eat more. She wasn’t that fat, 90kg, but she did it to hopefully relieve some pain on her feet and back (disabled) but it only made everything worse due to fat loss and having absolutely no “cushioning” and she had stomach issues before. She would’ve reversed it if it was possible so that’s why I can’t really support these surgeries when someone is healthy enough to lose the weight on their own.
I hope your mother gets better soon! Hoping for the best
That's a rough way to try and live. I'm sure she tried to lose weight on her own.
I know 2 people that ultimately died as a result of these types of surgeries, they were long painful battles. I sincerely hope your mom gets better.
This man is an OG Chubby Bunny fan. That other guy was completely right and had the courage to just call out the stalker vibes.
what other kind of man is she gonna get? a fortune 500 CEO? a body builder?

@@theoverunderthinker There's often a disconnect between people who meet when one person knows a lot about the other, like in these celebrity-type situations. If he knew her, followed her story for a while before meeting her, then he already had a version of her in his head. He knew the online Tammy, the TV Tammy.
@@Kanyon85 it might be just as true that if you know someone from the office, you know "office Susan" and not "real Susan" (I just chose the name Susan at random)
I am not saying his motives are pure, I am wondering aloud why a man with pure motives and his life together would bother with Tammy at all.
It's not dissimilar to the adult lady that looks like a little kid that I think was also on a TLC series: how could someone be attracted to her and not be a little off? She did nothing wrong, but the reality is what it is.
Tammy is not a particularly nice or gentle person, she is aggressively mean to her family. She doesn't have her life together and is entitled at the same time.
he could be everything that people say, and she is still not too good for him.
🤷♂🤷♂
you know why I think that? because nobody normal has shown any interest in her. the market determines your dating value, not your fans.
@@theoverunderthinker A whoooole lot of settling, and a lot of curbed expectations for what is the most likely path in your future. That's the reality for Tammy.

There's nothing wrong with her siblings wanting to just live their lives and not be burdened with her care, it is physically and emotionally draining.
"If they don't wanna take care of me..." She says it like she just outright EXPECTS her family to cater to her. Tammy, no one wants to be forced into a caregiver role. There are people who get paid to do that as their full-time job because, guess what, it's a lot of mf work to take care of someone.

Glad the family put their foot down with Tammy. If she wants help she needs to be nice
Something about seeing Dane smile with that smooth beautiful face of his. It’s so warming and happy makes me feel it too
even though tammy was incredibly abusive to all of her family members and constantly blamed everyone but herself for her problems, she's also mentally unwell and is just now getting better. with all of this, im only hoping with her continued recovery that she'll realize how many bridges she's burned and why her family doesn't necessarily bend over backwards and drop everything in their own lives for her.
“Baby, is this your oxygen tube or mine?”
“Baby shut up and hand me the buffalo dip”
So first of all I'm glad Tammy got the surgery! But as someone who has both received and given at home medical treatment, she needs to wait for her trach to come out. That becomes a full time job and yeah it sucks not being home but she is being selfish. And to answer Tammy's question if she deserves respect... no, no she does not. Respect is earned and she hasn't done anything to earn anyone's respect.
I believe that you should give everyone respect until they do something to make you retract it. And Tammy has done more than enough.
Shes already out post surgery and back to vaping and eating fast food. She is walking but was filmed doing those things so she will be back in the hospital soon. I knew she would go back to her old ways.
I AGREE- Thank You🤟
I'll be surprised if she last 5 more years honestly
I had such high hopes. I hoped that seeing herself losing weight would motivate her but maybe seeing her weight drop after doing nothing after the surgery made her think she could do whatever she wanted and still lose weight.
Considering if you follow her Instagram and that she's the smallest she's ever been. Shes just over 400 pounds from 717 pounds from before. Anyone can have a takeaway as a treat and it be put out of context. She's doing brilliantly. How about you shut up about things you clearly know nothing about?
They have their own lives however they choose to live it. They aren’t obligated to take care of her. She has had a past with all of them. I wouldn’t let her back in my home either.
10:05 Usually, the people who don't have anything to do are depressed due to the fact that nothing important is going on in their life. That's what stops them. It's not that they don't want to do it. The depression skews their perception and makes their goal seem like a much bigger task than it truly is.
There’s a TikTok talking about how he followed her social media to find the facility she’s at and then showed up! 😮
I think it’s not just Tammy burning bridges (which I agree she did) but after she was put in care everybody arranged their lives for themselves. And now this woman who burned bridges with them wants to come back and be taken care of all the same? Nah. After what she put them through, it is NOT just about her doing what she needs to do. It’s that nobody in her life can trust her not to disrespect and mistreat them while demanding care.
"Am I a bad person?" - Tammy no way you're just cluing into that now
I say good on them for not taking up Tammy's trach training, she abused them and basically made them do shit for her so they put their foot down. She can deal with it instead of crying about it cause, yes, she IS an awful person- weight loss or not. Karma goes around, comes around.
I used to weigh 600 lb in high school and I thank God every single day that I decided to get in shape. I'm 6ft 5 so it really didn't look like I weighed that much but I could definitely tell it was putting a strain on my body. I'm glad I never got to the point where I had to have a tube in my throat for breathing purposes.
proud of you bro 🤞🏾 youre doing great.
great story! keep it up!
👍
@@theoverunderthinker thank you!
People get trachea doesn’t mean you need a tech for home but the family would need to be trained on how to keep it clean. Infected would mean needing the hospital and with her previous medical insanity I’m not surprised a doctor Motumboed that road-trip - former paramedic
The family doesn't really want to help Tammy any more. They want to do the bare minimum because of the abuse that she's put them through. It's good of them to even do that.
Are we sure TLC didn't borrow a lifetime writer. Because two addicts getting engaged in the parking lot of the rehab facility. And the one addict stalked the other one. It seems very lifetime special 😂.
Love your shit ken. You and buff make my day.
12:32 in nursing homes, they store the trays of food for meals in those and then push them through the halls to the various resident's rooms. they are probably in the dining hall.
“Purposes” I know it’s gonna get changed to proposes but cmon why can’t it just stay 😂
"If my family wants to be in my life, they have to do what I say" is pretty freaking manipulative! For most people, family can be in their life unless the other person/people treats them like carp for real.
10:12 legit thought Ken was gonna say "my dog stepped on a bee" 😂
I love the “if today is ypur birthday” thing on my actual birthday. Thank you Ken I appreciate it!
Yes and no, Ken.
We had veins removed from our stomach, not for weight loss reasons, and we felt the recovery crawl.
This is something we continue to struggle with, we struggle to eat. We have hopes for Tammy's recovery !

Damn Tammy getting it more often than me. 💀💀
Yuck- do not need the MENTAL PICTURE🤮
Same 💀
She has a camera crew and money
Although, looking at who she ends up with, it seems worse than just being alone
Family love can be unconditional, but not when you've been taking advantage of the family's help to the point where you feel entitled to their support, regardless of what's going on in the families lives. Tammy doesn't seem thankful for all their efforts of housing her, regardless of the cameras there or not. Her family must have a greaaat amount of patience, there are other families that would've given up on her and she would've been in the streets, but for her to give them the ultimatum on camera, "If they want to be part of my life, then they have to listen to me." ...oooof sis, if you want to be part of their life you also have to listen to them and respect when they say no....i wonder if TLC or Tammy would show us that she actually is thankful for not giving up on her, all the efforts of her family and letting her die or left on the streets....me being hopeful I guess
They say "we don't have time" but they really mean "we're too scared to just say no"
13:49 Dane is hilarious 😂 his response caught me off guard
21:08 Made me crack up. Gotta love southern boys imitating their own accents! LOL
I've been thinking about this for a while. If pre traque Tammy and Ed got in an argument, who would overpower whom? Ed's a little shit who likes to talk over people but Tammy gets loud and I don't think she'd just roll over and let Ed talk over her. Who do y'all think would win?
20:51 When she opens her eyes wide, you can really notice how her blue dress brings out the green in her eyes. Go Tammy!
Honestly I understand where the family is coming from. They have been enabling Tammy for so long and Tammy has used that to her advantage, its time she actually does shit for herself. It's funny when you actually are in it alone, how much that motivates Tammy to get shit done....
Tammy is like honey and TLC are the flies💀
Flies are also quite keen on sh!t ...
Ain't nothing sweet about her
I laughed way too hard at "right next to lil bit" 😂😂
Amy talking about sepsis and possibly dying from it made me happy. It's good to know that people understand the seriousness. A girl at my school had a cold that unknowingly turned into a lung infection. Despite the cold, she went on a school trip to New York where she actually died from sepsis. It hit national news in our country and the parents filed a wrongful death case against the teachers. The teachers weren't found liable but one retired and the other took a leave after the fact. The teacher that retired came back to talk about sepsis and the other one did a talk about paranoia.
Woah I just found a ton of articles about this!! Crazy
@@ZsiZsiSzabad it's sad because a lot of the kids that were on the trip were approached by the news. The teachers were preparing to possibly take her to a doctor but she died over that night.
@@eleanorcooke7136 it’s a terrible situation, I read several articles about it. I guess there’s some discrepancy where she told her mom she had requested medical attention but the adult chaperones claim she didn’t? Just a horrible situation all around, I’m glad the coroner decided to promote education on sepsis. Such a tragedy, it had to be hard for everyone involved.
@@ZsiZsiSzabad from what I heard, the parents think she was asking to go to the doctors and the teachers think she was asking if it was possible. We are from England so we don't really know how healthcare works for visitors in the US.
I just found this channel, and it is a JOY! 😂
I also disagree with Ken. Caring for another family member takes up so much time. Eventually it comes down to you spending so much time looking after others that you come to resent and hate that family member, even if they aren't abusive like tammy. Sometimes its better to walk away or keep some distance.
I love it, vid posted 2 mins ago and already 150 likes. You best believe we like the video before watching, because we love Ken and Buff in this house❤
Same! I hit like before play! Bcz I already know imma love it
Addicts should remain abstinent for one year before engaging in any romantic relationships, because such relationships lead to drama, drama leads to stress, and stress leads to cravings. More especially, Tammy's new man is addicted to the same substance as she is. Any time he relapses, or slips up, it's going to be tempting for her when she sees him eating unhealthy foods.
Lol when you guys joked that they were gonna bury Tammy right next to Little Bit I laughed so hard because that means they would be burying her in the back hard lmao. They are from kentuckt so that wouldn't shock me.
tammy thinks that unless she's the ruler of the family and gets to tell everyone to live their lives according to her wishes, then her family hates her and doesn't want her around. You can't have those kinds of people in your life
Tammy looks legit cute when she gets engaged and holds her hand and does that shy giggle - she's so happy and her family should be supportive of her happiness no matter how many times she has been dating guys
Apparently, that guy is actually a stalker.
@@eleanorcooke7136 yea looks like he really gets around lolol stayed in his room a year lol uses a wheelchair - lol they made up the whole stalker thing - he can't even go pee on his own properly
@@danielle2247 you don't have to be able to physically follow someone around to be a stalker. Apparently they found her rehab facility and had him admitted there too. I haven't really watched this show for a while and don't keep up with the news on it so what I've heard may be wrong but it's generally what I've heard from others.
@@eleanorcooke7136 who's 'they'?
@@abigail1994 the guy and his friends
Tbh most working people (in the US) only get 2 weeks of vacation time in a year. I can’t blame anyone for not wanting or being able to use half of that becoming a caregiver for someone who doesn’t appreciate it
The comment on how "people find excuses to not do sth because they don't want to" actually kind of motivated me to stop finding excuses lol, so thank youuu❤️
13:37 Damn, Fred Durst got big! He was all about the cookie! 😅😆
Proposal after 3 weeks? Is he a veteran? Lol
Tammy doesnt get alot of flattering treatment, so a stalker, that's not dangerous, IS flattering to some so I totally get why she likes him!😁👍
11:49 are they gambling for who's going to win that HUGE bottle of pills??? 🤣
Ken, dw, that's how siblings work, we never apologize after a fight, we just hang out randomly and then we start talking back to each other
Fights*
4 hours later*
Sib 1: Hey do you want food?
Sib 2: yeah sure
@@dakotareid1566 me with my sister all the time when we argue
Bruh, I felt that when Amy rolled her eyes when her husband watched the kid then just took him to his moms. 🙄 “DIVORRCCE” hahaha spot on
How did she get an infection in the first place? Was it not being cleaned properly? Maybe vaping through it? 😂
Tammy: im going to work on being more independent
rest of the family: thats what we’ve been waiting for
i wonder what changed for tammy for her to finally do things diff. its so good to see her doing better!
Going in a coma a nearly dying did it I think.
Plus, with nurses constantly taking care of her, I doubt she would even have the chance to develop an infection.
Not true, infection is still pretty common even in the hospital. Source: me a paralyzed guy
@@dakotareid1566 Well, sorry to hear that. Thank you for the education (not being sarcastic). I'm just saying how they stated it in the video, it was possibly to just bring up drama, but who knows really other than Tammy and everyone else around her. Thanks again for the education.
Hospital/facility acquired infections are unfortunately a thing! It happens. But I wouldn't put it past TLC to make up an infection.
