Not only has Tammy’s weight loss journey been impressive physically, but it has also had significant health benefits. She’s ditched her walker and oxygen support tank, which she depended on for 15 years. As she told People in June 2023, “I was able to make my lungs strong. ” Now, she only needs her oxygen machine at night. Tammy’s dedication is inspiring, but her journey isn’t over yet. In a recent clip posted on TLC’s Instagram, a doctor advised her to keep losing weight to become eligible for skin removal surgery. Despite the wait, Tammy remains positive and continues to share her progress on social media.
