Tammy - who weighed 725lbs at her heaviest - underwent bariatric surgery in 2022 before checking into a 14-month weight loss rehab and it has been life-changing for her. 

She shares updates on TikTok regularly and in February she talked about how much she's changed. 

"My quality of life has changed so much," she said in a video. "Before I went to rehab, I was bitter, unhappy, very super suicidal, depressed, and just mean. Everybody hated me…and they still do…I had this I don't care attitude back then. I still do, but it's not as bad. I'm working on myself still."

She hopes to get skin removal surgery but admits she doesn't yet know when. 

Tammy appreciates life and the people around her much more now too, and told fans: "I have personally seen a lot of growth in how I treat people and my family. Just my attitude and how happier I seem. I smile a lot more."

While she's had a lot of positivity sent her way, she's also faced trolls. 

"You don’t understand what people are going through," she said in another video shared with her social media followers. "I'm very insecure. I hide it because I don't want people to think I'm weak and I truly am weak. And calling me a turkey or talking about my face and my teeth it bothers me. I'm human."
