@tom_something Sometimes people complain about others quoting parts of the video, but I appreciate it because UA-cam's default closed captions leave something to be desired and sometimes the comments help by accurately transcribing a specific line I didn't hear correctly. I'm glad the OP was able to help you in this case!
@@kingayy9267 I grew up watching TV and movies with my parents. Whenever someone says something funny, my Mom laughs and repeats it out loud. I'm used to that.
Absolutely. I'm amazed at what a strong person she truly is. Being a strong person doesn't mean you don't feel shut down sometimes. Strong people cry and feel the difficulty of things. But how Tammy gets back up is just incredible!
Losing nearly 500lbs I’m sure her skin removal would give her the results they are looking for her to loose. How disheartening for her. She’s done amazingly
that actually hurt me for her..........im crying now darn it.............tammy is so awesome...........actually this family is so loving............praying for their continued success.
Amanda citing Amy, Tammy and even Caleb somehow as reasons why she hasn't lost weight is eyeroll-worthy. She can dish out accountability but she can't take it.
She previously had weight loss surgery and regained the weight so I'm not surprised she hasn't made much progress with this second surgery. She clearly has the ability to keep consuming high calories despite stomach size restriction. She has to be ready to change her eating habits and relationship with food if she's ever to reach a healthy weight.
the way that misty, out of everyone who decided to 'take control' of their life, actually committed mentally to it shows so much about her character and spirit ❤
Tammy actually probably qualifies for at least partial skin removal. She needs to get a consult from a plastic surgeon. Her skin is in the way of her being able to move around, stay clean, exercise, etc. Even if it is a temporary stop gap on the way to her final body, she needs some skin removed.
I dunno if toyve ever seen what's involved, but it's MAJOR surgery, and incredibly painful to recover from - its not the type of surgery you do twice. It's really not.
@ It’s not dismissing or refusing…it’s merely postponing. And there’s a medical reason for postponing. I don’t think you understand why he’s not willing to do the surgery now.
@solofemaletravelerme she...didn't lose a million pounds. And there's alot of risk and issues with it. The doctor literally explains why he's not doing it when he rejected her.
I actually really feel for Tammy,, she’s done such a great job over the last few years & it must be heartbreaking to hear that bad news but she can so do it! I can’t wait to see what she does next!
I agree, I think a lot of that extra 30 plus pounds is honestly excess skin, so realistically she is probably sitting under 200 anyway. I hope she reaches every goal she sets! ❤
As frustrating as it is for Tammy, the doc is right and if she plans to go below 200, it does make more sense to lose more. That said, breaking the removal into parts would also make a lot of sense and doing something that won't shrink much more like her arms would give her a chance to reinforce the progress she's made and be able to quasi-function after the second more major procedure.
Tammy, 2 years ago we thought you were going to literally d!e. Your family was scared too, be proud of yourself for getting to where you are now. You may not be where you want to be right now, but you’re further than you used to be.
It was great enough Tammy please don't cry!!! He commented you, because you did do awesome. But he explained why and told you the RISK!!! Your health is more important than your feelings... At 300 pounds that is a risk of having skin removal.. You're still losing weight which is awesome and healthy for you, so get down to the 100 pounds less which will put you at 200 pounds... You'll still be at a risk but nowhere near like you are at a risk now... Please Tammy enjoy every moment of your success.... I'm proud of you Tammy...❤🎉😊🎉 I am proud of you all.
Tammy took the bull by the horns once she made up her mind to lose the weight; losing nearly 500 pounds is mind boggling. And the surgery is no guarantee of success, I’ve seen enough episodes My 600 pound life and people in real life to know it’s not. Tammy is an amazing person and to me an inspiration to anyone who has a lot of weight to lose.
Tammy please understand that you lost the most weight bc you had the most weight to lose. It's not that you let yourself down, you are definitely on the right track. He just doesn't want you to lose another 100 pounds and have to have a whole other high-risk surgery. But you'll get there. You have done such an amazing job! Total inspiration sis! ❤
As far as Tammy it is hard to see that finish line dor her goal and what you thought it was a getting pushed back a bit. She hasnt let herself down, she didnt even have a set back. She just needs to push through.
I have the same problem. I had a gastric bypass in 2011 and was told that I would have to wait 2 years before I went for skin removal. It’s now 2024 and I have lots of skin that needs removing but the NHS won’t help and I can’t afford it at around £8000. So I have to keep returning to GP for more creams to help with the massive skin infections, weeping sores and constant pain. It’s all crazy and unfair.
She was told to go a little longer before skin removal so that is not really a rejection. They have to make sure you are not going to gain the weigh back. She is doing an amazing job. Now Amy is no longer concerned with eating right and I believe she will regain her weight.
Honestly, I understand her Disappointment, but I think the Fact that the Doctor wants her to lose even more Weight is a big Compliment. It suggests two Things: That he believes her capable to and also likely to lose even more. It's a one step back, three steps foward Situation imo. 200 Pounds... she'd almost have lost 3/4 of her Weight.
6:30 Tammy is doing incredible! I'm so proud of her! She's turned around her life: her mentality/attitude has improved dramatically, which likely really helped her weight loss, since she probably isn't eating to comfort her poor moods. I hope she gets the surgery soon but the doctor has a point. There's no sense doing it just yet when she still has a little way to go, weight-wise. She'll get there, though. She also looked too cute in her little cheetah print.
At the end of the day he is thinking about how the scars will look. Trying to leave you with a beautiful transformation with not too many scars. Just think happy Tammy
Wow Tammy you look amazing and don’t give up, you got this and you will get that surgery when its safe and you are ready. It will be better for you in the long term!
Keep up the amazing work Tammy, you have come so far already, only a fraction of what you have already lost left and Amy stay strong, I get separations ant easy, but when you come out the other side with your life and new look it will help you feel so much more confident.
I almost want to cry just looking at Tammy & Amy (even Misty) watching them YEARS ago growing this “bond” with them.. especially Tammy always had a soft spot for her, so just to see how small she’s gotten… SUPER PROUD !!!! From your TV brother 🥲 keep it up
it’s not safe for her to get it. why would a Dr risk his medical license and career to operate when he clearly knows it’s too dangerous to. what are y’all not understanding about that?
She wasn't necessarily rejected for skin removal surgery all he said was she had to lose 100 pounds more to get it, because if she didn't she can have complications.
Tammy you have done great sweetie!! It's only that you had the most work to do that's why you still have a way to go. You are definitely the most hard working person in that room please please be proud of yourself
This is nonsense. Tammy's skin is 100 pounds.Remove it for her and she will more easily loose more weight.Cant you see all this skin is holding her back and making it difficult for her to loose weight?
What easy way out? She did what she needed to, she has a TON of loose skin in her way and needs it removed. If you don't see that, you aren't very bright.
Come on tammy it's about losing more weight so you don't have extra skin what's the point removing the skin to then loose more weight and then have excess skin again then it won't get removed because you hot the surgery
Dr Smith you have to understandable this skin is holding her off. She has to carry all that skin everywhere she goes. Tammy you have proven how determined you are at getting healthy. I understand his concerns. I know you can do it. I am so proud of you. Don't let this dis outrageous you. You can do this
Wish the Drs would do an in depth study on this family on why they became so morbidly obese. There has to be hormones, brain abnormalities, genetics at play. It can't be just environment or learned behavior as the cause. Food addiction is the hardest addiction to overcome. I've known a couple of people who lost a ton of weight with gastric surgery only to regain it back over time. Same with skin removal...taking excess skin off & then gaining the weight back. Such a constant, vicious cycle.
I don't understand this! She has lost about 500 pounds, she has about 80 pounds of skin on her. if he would remove that she would most likely only weight about 200 pounds. if she lost down to about 150 with exercise I don't think she would have hanging skin again. This doctor is crazy. It's the same thing with him every time. Lose 50 pounds, then you do and he says well lose another 50, then you do and he says well lose another 100 pounds. It's never enough with him. He wants her to be 200 pounds to get the skin removed but if he waits that long and removes it, she will only be about 100 pounds because at 200 pounds she will have about 100 pounds of skin on her. I wish she would go to a real plastic surgeon, they would remove it for her.
Because Tammy is short. Ideally, her ‘normal’ weight would be way under 200lbs. Although she's lost the most out of everyone, she still has lots of weight to lose to make the surgery safe & worthwhile. The ideal weight for women 5ft - 5ft 4 is 86 to 121 pounds which would make the doctor correct in his evaluation.
It's not safe for people who are still obese to have major surgery, so it's got nothing to do with losing a little bit more weight for aesthetics, it's literally for the safety of the surgery. I'd rather go to a doctor that's more concerned about safety and my health than giving me what I want.
Did gastric bypass at 14 - as a test subject, I had a skin reduction as well..but I was rejected the first time trying for the skin removal...about 1.5 yrs it took me to bounce up and down for the skin to be the ideal length from my hip bones....I was 375 at 14, by the time I was 20 i was 170 lb. ( age of skin removal)then after skin removal I lost another 10 lb but indeed it takes time.
I dont think Amanda had the family weight on her shoulders if anyone did Chris would be the one. I think Chris has gotten to that complacency state of mind which can be dangerous if you are kn a weightloss journey. He just needs more motivation and its trivky because he's motivated not to gain weight but is not motivated to lose more.
My best friend is starting to not believe in herself she isnt huge but she wants to lose weight and she feels its not enough and its messing with her. I wish I could help her but I moved across the country from her
2:12 I can see why it may _seem_ like an insurmountable goal, but what's the point of holding on to those extra thirty pounds? Amy's lost a lot of weight but she can still stand to lose quite a bit more. I hope she does and am proud of what she's already accomplished. I hope she's doing better these days, mentally. She really seemed to be struggling the past year or so.
I feel like the Dr isn't fully realizing the sheer amount of extra skin amy has and how it's slowing her progress because she can barely move with it on her body. I feel like the removal surgery would make her so light on her feet the extra weight she still needs to lose with just MELT off so fast!
You all have done a great job, life has threw so much your way. Tammy I know this result has upset you. But look how far you have come. Don’t let it set you back, You have got this. I have never had no doubt in my mind you wouldn’t get to where you are. Now it is time to finish the race.
I had originally commented on the constant let down, and the extremely difficult movement situation of Tamms hanging skin, and someone kept commenting back to me she needs to loose more, well, its like i have been saying, these doctors mostly dont want to do these operations because they find them to be overwhelming for their abilities. Most you all doing this weight loss will find this to be FACT. You will be dragging another person behind you where ever you go for a very long time, YEARS. Mean while, these doctors who have created a new industry will try to figure out how and when new doctors for this field of work will be created. Tamm has been approved for skin sugery, but!!! as usual, the new doctor says, many surgeries, and a team of differant doctors to do the job. Pass the buck again they did. 12/4/24
It seems like the doctor should have told them earlier on what kind of weight they need to be for him to refer them. The way it's presented here--and this might due to editing--is that they don't know how much they weigh or how much they need to weigh, before going into this appointment. So they're in suspense twice, plus with no prior notice they keep getting their hopes up.
It makes sense, the reason why they want you to get down to a certain weight and see that you can keep the weight off for a year before removing all the excess skin. The reason why is because if they do it to early, it will need to be redone again if she lost more weight or if she gained more weight. So waiting for a stable and ideal skin removal weight will only benefit her.
I saw someone who was like obese he hit gym and got skin surgery,they need to loose more weight until the skin becomes loose until it drops itself like it's hanging from their body that's when the surgery is done.
Y'all family are doing absolutely AMAZING! KEEP GOING STAY POSITIVE FAMS YALL GOT THIS 😍 reach that goal! Yall have every potential and every support to do it together 🥰 love watching you's ♥️ y'all can do this! Don't give up!! STAY POSSY! 🥰
"All you need to lose weight is two toddlers and a divorce" way too accurate 😂
Thank you! I heard "dollars".

It's sad. But it's also a health risk removing that much skin with her being over 300 to big a shock to the system
Amanda citing Amy, Tammy and even Caleb somehow as reasons why she hasn't lost weight is eyeroll-worthy. She can dish out accountability but she can't take it.
She has only lost 30 pounds since WLS! How is that possible? She must be forcing the food in when she isn't even hungry
She previously had weight loss surgery and regained the weight so I'm not surprised she hasn't made much progress with this second surgery. She clearly has the ability to keep consuming high calories despite stomach size restriction.

i'm so sorry, that sounds awful.
Amanda blamed everyone but herself for the weight she gained like don't do that it's ur body and ur choice to put these foods in you
I dont like her

Tammy’s voice sounds so much stronger, higher pitched and lively. It’s amazing how much weight impacts our sound
Don’t give up Tammy you have this!

At the end of the day he is thinking about how the scars will look. Trying to leave you with a beautiful transformation with not too many scars. Just think happy Tammy
to be honest, I think she could care less about scars because anything is better then being 700lbs so its just a big change for her
He’s really not thinking about scars. He’s looking after them and doing the best for their health.
Tammy looks beautiful. Great job!
Wow Tammy you look amazing and don’t give up, you got this and you will get that surgery when its safe and you are ready. It will be better for you in the long term!

I believe both sisters with the skin removal operation will achieve their goal.

This is nonsense. Tammy's skin is 100 pounds.Remove it for her and she will more easily loose more weight.Cant you see all this skin is holding her back and making it difficult for her to loose weight?
I was thinking the same thing that extra skin is probably another 80 or 90 lbs
Tammy’s always looking for the easy way out (which is why it took her this long to get onboard and accomplish what she has).
Better late than to the grave.
What easy way out? She did what she needed to, she has a TON of loose skin in her way and needs it removed. If you don't see that, you aren't very bright.
In what world losing 500 pounds is an easy way out?
Wow. I haven’t watched this in months. I didn’t recognize Tammy!
Come on tammy it's about losing more weight so you don't have extra skin what's the point removing the skin to then loose more weight and then have excess skin again then it won't get removed because you hot the surgery
You are 100 percent correct.

Everybody looked happy before....they all look so unhappy in this episode. Are they taking weightloss too far?
That's just how they look and they didn't get the news they wanted.
They were given more goals. They didn't like that. Lol.
I agree😢 they should lose TOO much weight 😢 it can be just as dangerous to be skinny!
These people are super short. I don't think people realize even if they weighed 100 pounds they'd still be healthy
Approve Tammy for skin removal,we know how far she has come and that skin will take off the extra 100 Dr wants
I never been so proud of strangers !
Keep going tammy! Youre doing awesome!
I think that Tammy is right, she most likely has more than 30 lbs. of skin that needs to be removed. Maybe she should get a second opinion?
You are doing great Tammy
they all have suchhappy faces 😶
They expect you to lose the weight and then you have to hold on to all the skin 😢😢
Go Tammy go !
Tammy you can do it!!!!! It’s worth it!!
That extra skin is probably soooo heavy… I wonder how much Tammy would weigh without it
Why keep shoes on when being weighed
People have to also understand the risk of being obese under anesthesia is great.
Wow Misty wayyy to go!!! 👏👏👏
I dont think Amanda had the family weight on her shoulders if anyone did Chris would be the one. I think Chris has gotten to that complacency state of mind which can be dangerous if you are kn a weightloss journey. He just needs more motivation and its trivky because he's motivated not to gain weight but is not motivated to lose more.
I feel like she would be more mobile if she did have skin removal 😢 poor Tammy.
I feel like chris is the only cast member maybe besides tammy that seems like he does excersize on the show more than the others.
My best friend is starting to not believe in herself she isnt huge but she wants to lose weight and she feels its not enough and its messing with her. I wish I could help her but I moved across the country from her
I love Chris's voice
Wouldn't their skin weigh 50kg at least?...they should do removal twice. Help them out.
Chris looks smaller than 299 though
2:12 I can see why it may _seem_ like an insurmountable goal, but what's the point of holding on to those extra thirty pounds?
Amy's lost a lot of weight but she can still stand to lose quite a bit more. I hope she does and am proud of what she's already accomplished.
I hope she's doing better these days, mentally. She really seemed to be struggling the past year or so.
I've watched many skin removal surgeries with overweight men and wemon on youtube why can't one of them help her?
I feel like the Dr isn't fully realizing the sheer amount of extra skin amy has and how it's slowing her progress because she can barely move with it on her body. I feel like the removal surgery would make her so light on her feet the extra weight she still needs to lose with just MELT off so fast!
I agree with this. I think the skin is impeding her actual mobility at this point.
Tammy you are a winner I believe
You all have done a great job, life has threw so much your way. Tammy I know this result has upset you. But look how far you have come. Don’t let it set you back, You have got this.
I have never had no doubt in my mind you wouldn’t get to where you are. Now it is time to finish the race.
Misty is the only sane one 😂
I had originally commented on the constant let down, and the extremely difficult movement situation of Tamms hanging skin, and someone kept commenting back to me she needs to loose more, well, its like i have been saying, these doctors mostly dont want to do these operations because they find them to be overwhelming for their abilities. Most you all doing this weight loss will find this to be FACT. You will be dragging another person behind you where ever you go for a very long time, YEARS. Mean while, these doctors who have created a new industry will try to figure out how and when new doctors for this field of work will be created. Tamm has been approved for skin sugery, but!!! as usual, the new doctor says, many surgeries, and a team of differant doctors to do the job. Pass the buck again they did. 12/4/24
It seems like the doctor should have told them earlier on what kind of weight they need to be for him to refer them. The way it's presented here--and this might due to editing--is that they don't know how much they weigh or how much they need to weigh, before going into this appointment. So they're in suspense twice, plus with no prior notice they keep getting their hopes up.
It makes sense, the reason why they want you to get down to a certain weight and see that you can keep the weight off for a year before removing all the excess skin. The reason why is because if they do it to early, it will need to be redone again if she lost more weight or if she gained more weight. So waiting for a stable and ideal skin removal weight will only benefit her.
So has misty qualified for skin removal or not?
Those boots that Misty had on would have taken off another two pounds.
Amanda immediately blames the others
Amanda is allllways ready to blame everyone else. Losing Caleb?! Lol ok girl. She is never losing the weight.
I saw someone who was like obese he hit gym and got skin surgery,they need to loose more weight until the skin becomes loose until it drops itself like it's hanging from their body that's when the surgery is done.
Y'all family are doing absolutely AMAZING! KEEP GOING STAY POSITIVE FAMS YALL GOT THIS 😍 reach that goal! Yall have every potential and every support to do it together 🥰 love watching you's ♥️ y'all can do this! Don't give up!! STAY POSSY! 🥰
For how long have they been seeing the doctor now?
I think most of the weight she is carrying IS the excess skin.,
