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 ❤
@ 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.
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.
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! ❤
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Look I know he’s the doc but I’d be pressing someone for skin removal, then you could exercise more easily to have a healthier lifestyle. Yall have all done amazing. Tammy you rock!
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?
Misty actually looks amazing, so much changed for her
She really does.
I had completely forgotten about Misty. She is so quiet and respectful.
She does 🧡
She is beautiful
She looks amazing and I'm so happy for her.way to go Misty and to the whole family!!!!!
Tammy, you have not let yourself down. You have done an amazing job, keep it up.
Agree. Tammy should be proud of how far she has come.
i knew she could do it.
I'm so proud of her
"All you need to lose weight is two toddlers and a divorce" way too accurate 😂
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 ❤
We believe in you Tammy you can do it!
This title is BS.
None of them were "rejected", they were literally given the criteria to GET the surgeries.
Telling her she's not getting the skin removal right now IS rejection. 😂😂😂
Bro what?
@@arielx31 Telling someone ‘not yet’ is not rejection. He’s doing the best thing for this family…even if it makes him unpopular.
@ruthhogg6423 thats still a rejection.
Rejection is LITERALLY defined as "dismissing or refusing a proposal" WHICH HE DID.
It IS a rejection. 🤣🤣
@ 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.
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.

Please let Tammy get her skin removal. She worked so hard. Hang in there girl.

Oje noch ein langer Weg,😮
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
They don’t understand how awesome they’re all doing.. I hope they know.. ❤

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 THINK tammy could at least get her arms done!! Her excess skin prob weighs 50+lbs!!!
Dang misty has lost weight like crazy
She doesn't even have the same face ,keep it up girl, just keep eating right remember 😊
All needs group therapy. It really helps overall.
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.

Misty looks beautiful and is truly different out of all the siblings. I would want her as a sister. ❤️
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?
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.
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!
Go Tammy 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.
they all have suchhappy faces 😶
You got this girl,so proud of you❤
Tammy looks beautiful. Great job!
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.
Chris looks smaller than 299 though
You are doing great Tammy
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.
She should have never got that big. I would starve before I weight 700lbs. No shade though
Tammy need a second opinion. If her skin is stopping her from doing daily activities it need to be removed! She can barely walk from the skin!
He’s literally playing them now!!!
I think most of the weight she is carrying IS the excess skin.,
Tammy you are a winner I believe
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
She even sounds different!
Yesss
How do people let that happen to them , I don’t understand
Why did amy get divorced!?
Michael never helped or supported her. She was tired of it, so they got divorced.
Those boots that Misty had on would have taken off another two pounds.
Look I know he’s the doc but I’d be pressing someone for skin removal, then you could exercise more easily to have a healthier lifestyle. Yall have all done amazing. Tammy you rock!
Nothing will help those faces.
Tammy just about have 100 pounds of skin! If she’s 300 now and lose 100 more pounds then that’s so much…🥴
Early
How tall is that one that’s 237 cause I’m 5’4 and 222 and do not even loook close to that bouncy ball shape
well this is also because she used to be 400 so she has a lot of loose skin
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?
