Both Tammy and Amy also have diabetes as well as anxiety from trying to lose weight on their own. It was so bad that is was a life or death situation. It was so bad that Tammy couldn't even walk around normally without the help of a walker and wasn't able to buckle her seat belt properly like everyone else without weight problems can.
