According to the US Sun, Tammy has experienced a major physical transformation after undergoing bariatric surgery last year. A close source had revealed that time that the reality star is recouping well, "It was a little scary, but she recovered quickly. The first few days were really tough on her, but she was still able to talk and was with it." The source added that the nurses had been "Monitoring Tammy and making sure she's staying on her diet after the surgery. She has been adjusting well and [her body] hasn't rejected her medications."

A source recently shared that Tammy had been to the rehab once again to check on her progress, "Tammy thought she weighed 370 pounds," the source shared. "Tammy went to a rehab center last Thursday and got weighed. She actually lost more than she had thought. She's down to 334 and doing awesome." Her weight loss news came at a juncture when she is mourning the loss of her loved one. But much to the relief of her fans Tammy hasn't had a relapse episode so far, an insider claimed that she has been following a healthy lifestyle since the surgery, unlike her beloved ex-husband. "They were best friends and were supporters of each other in the clinic, and [his death is] devastating for her. She told me she could have easily been him. Tammy went through the same experience that Caleb did and wanted him to get better, but he just didn't have a drive. She didn't have the drive for a bit and was struggling and not caring, and I think Caleb had the same mindset of 'I've already done this to myself, I'm already this big, there's no turning back,'" the insider said.

Concluding the insider revealed that Tammy is well aware that it could have been her in the place of Caleb had she not followed a strict fitness routine, "It's hard on her because she has experienced it and is of the mindset of, 'This could have been me.'"
