Tammy needs to do the work to deal with her deeper mental health issues.
Tammy’s Mental Health Wasn’t Great Before Surgery
She Was Trying To Work Through Deeper Problems
AlthoughTammy has always had a lot to handle, her mental health seemed like it was at an all-time low before her weight loss surgery. After getting herself into a tough situation with her health, Tammy was placed into a medically induced coma at the end of 2022, which led to her being in a weight loss rehab in 2023. Finding herself away from home and struggling to stay positive about her future,Tammy’s mental health took a turn.
While she’d already been dealing with mental health issues throughout her life,Tammy seemed to attribute a lot of the issuesshe had with depression and mood to her weight. While she was sorting things out in rehab, shehad to complete mandatory therapy, but it didn’t seem to help in the way she hoped. Tammy’s inability to move through her life without struggle wasn’t surprising, as it’s not uncommon for anyone to be dealing with mental health issues, let alone someone in Tammy’s position.

She Hasn’t Always Felt Accepted
As1000-Lb Sistershas tackled more of Tammy’s life after her weight loss surgery, it’s become clear that the mental health issues she was facing before are still around, and something she needs to address. In recent episodes of1000-Lb Sistersseason 7, Tammy struggled with feeling included in her family despite them giving her every opportunity to be included in their activities. Isolating herself and feeling bad about not being included was something Tammy was used to before surgery, butcontinuing the behavior when she wasn’t being isolated or excluded was overwhelming to watch.
