1000-lb Sisters: Viewers Slam Amy’s “Lazy” Approach!
Fans accuse Amy of not taking her health seriously since her initial weight loss for bariatric surgery. “She also hasn’t lost weight since the first time she lost weight in season 1,” a comment pointed out. “Amy is lazy af.” There are strong fears she “is going to gain all her weight back if she is not careful.” One viewer stated bluntly, “She no longer trying, she doesn’t give a single f–k about gaining.”
Adding to the concern are her lifestyle choices. The original Reddit poster noted, “she smokes around the kids so apparently she doesn’t give a damn that much.” Another fan shared their personal weight loss success, expressing frustration: “it’s so frustrating to see someone like Amy, who has a show willing to pay for all these resources, yet refuses to make meaningful changes.”

1000-lb Sisters: Tammy’s Triumph! Star Gets GREEN LIGHT for Skin Removal Surgery!
In a stark contrast, sister Tammy Slaton is hitting major milestones. A recent clip, summarized from a YouTube video and a news piece, shows Tammy receiving incredible news. Her doctor, Dr. Smith, gives her the “green light” for much-anticipated skin removal surgery.
“You’ve shown me that you can focus on your nutrition, and because of that, I’m giving you the green light to go back to Pittsburgh and get you scheduled to have your skin removed,” Dr. Smith tells a beaming Tammy. The news clearly shows Tammy is very excited.

He viewed the surgery as “that final thing of a reward that I’ve done all this hard work.”
The doctor even playfully suggested Tammy “fake cry” to prank her brother Chris Combs in the waiting room. Though the prank didn’t fully materialize, with Tammy walking out smiling and announcing, “I got approved,” it highlighted a lighthearted moment in her challenging journey. Chris later expressed his happiness for Tammy.

The differing trajectories of Amy and Tammy have not gone unnoticed by fans. “Tammy looks smaller than her [Amy] now,” one fan remarked. The news of Tammy’s surgery approval, juxtaposed with Amy’s statements, only highlights the contrast. As one viewer noted about Amy, “She never cared about losing weight in the first place. She only wanted to lose weight so that she could have kids. Once she did that, weight loss didn’t matter anymore.”
