EVERYTHING IS ON TOP
OF EACH OTHER IN THIS HOUSE.

IF WE HAD MORE STUFF
OVER AT YOUR...

YOU CAN'T BLAME THAT ON ME.

IT WAS YOUR **** FAULT"?

NO.
I **** DIDN'T.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M NOT...

**** IT.

♪



♪

COME ON.

Amy: I THINK TAMMY IS KIND OF
UPSET RIGHT NOW

BECAUSE IF I GET APPROVED
AND SHE DOESN'T,

I'M STILL HAVING THE SURGERY,
BUT SHE'S GOT TO THINK,

I'M A MARRIED WOMAN.

I GOT MY OWN LIFE NOW.

I GOT TO FOCUS ON MYSELF.

♪

Amy: HURRY UP. YOU'RE SLOWER
THAN MOLASSES ON CHRISTMAS.

♪

WELL, HOW IS YOUR DIET
GOING, GIRLS?

HONESTLY, MOM,
IT'S HARD.

I AIN'T GONNA LIE.
I SNUCK A COUPLE SNACK CAKES.



YOU AIN'T GONNA MAKE IT
IF YOU DON'T LEAVE

THE SNACK CAKES ALONE.

I KNOW, MOM.

AND HOW MANY DID YOU EAT?

I DON'T BRING THEM HOME
FOR HER.

SO THAT MEANS
YOU AND MICHAEL

SIT AND EAT
A WHOLE BOX IN THE CAR.

NO.

WE BUY ONE AT THE GAS STATION
AND GO ABOUT OUR BUSINESS.

HMM.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS
TALKING ABOUT,

EATING THE SNACK CAKES.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT
AND STAY ON A DIET.

I KNOW HER.

SHE STARTS, SHE DON'T KNOW
WHEN TO STOP.

YEAH.

BUT I JUST PUT YOU ALL IN
GOD'S HANDS AND GO FROM THERE.

Frank: WHAT ABOUT YOU, TAMMY?

YEAH. I'M SCARED ABOUT IT
A LITTLE BIT,

BUT I'M JUST NOT TRYING
TO FOCUS ON THE NEGATIVE

AND KEEP FOCUSED
ON THE OUTCOME OF IT.

SPEAKING OF SOMETHING GOOD
TO FOCUS ON,

ME AND TAMMY ARE PLANNING
SOMETHING REAL BIG.

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE, GET DRESSES,
MICHAEL GETTING A TUX.

Amy: ME AND MICHAEL JUST GOT
MARRIED AT THE COURTHOUSE,

AND THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T HAVE
A REAL WEDDING

KIND OF BOTHERS ME
A LITTLE BIT.

IF I GET APPROVED,
THERE'S NO TELLING

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
DURING THE SURGERY,

SO I DECIDED THAT I'M GONNA HAVE
ANOTHER WEDDING.

UH, YOU CAN EITHER GET FRANK,
OR YOU CAN GET YOUR BROTHER.

BACHELORETTE PARTY.

LITTLE BIT, YOU CAN PUT A PILLOW
OR HANG IT AROUND THEIR NECK.

[ LAUGHS ]
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

HEY.
THAT'S WHAT I'M GOOD FOR.

BACHELORETTE PARTY!

YOU SURE
THEY WANT TO GO?

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ LAUGHS ]
OH, YEAH!

WHAT WAS THIS?

[ LAUGHS ]

[ LAUGHS ]

NO.

AND IT'S A LOT EASIER
FOR HER TO GET...

MY MOM REFUSED TO GO
WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING,

WHICH KIND OF HURT ME
BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING SPECIAL

FOR A MOTHER
AND DAUGHTER.

♪

♪

DO I KNOW HIM?

MAN, WHAT'S UP WITH YOU
AND SKINNY-ASS DUDES?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT RECENTLY,
IT'S GETTING MORE INTIMATE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

THE **** YOU MEAN
BY THAT?

NO, NOT YET.

DO YOU WANT TO?

YEAH, BUT...

WELL, I MEAN,
ALL YOUR PICTURES ARE...

YEAH,
BUT THAT'S JUST FACE.

YEAH.

43, 44.

SO?

THERE'S JUST SOMETHING
ABOUT JERRY.

I MEAN, HE'S THERE FOR ME.
HE TALKS TO ME.

Tammy: AMY'S FOUND MICHAEL,

SO THAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THERE
MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF HOPE

FOR ME ONE DAY
TO FIND LOVE, TOO.

SO I'M HOPING JERRY
MIGHT BE THE ONE.

IF I COULD MEET HIM IN PERSON,
IT MIGHT BE THE PUSH

I NEED TO CONTINUE
ON THE RIGHT TRACK

AND PUSH FORWARD
TO HAVE SURGERY.

WE'RE GOING BACK
TO ATLANTA SOON.

THAT'S CLOSER
TO WHERE HE LIVES.

MIGHT HAPPEN.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I'M VERY NERVOUS
ABOUT THIS APPOINTMENT.

I'M HOPING THAT WE GET APPROVED
FOR SURGERY.

Amy: IT'S TERRIFYING
TO THINK ABOUT.

THIS COULD BE THE START
OF MY WHOLE NEW LIFE,

OR I COULD GET
MY HEART BROKEN.

♪

HEY. JUST WANTED TO MAKE
A VIDEO BLOG

BECAUSE I HAVEN'T VIDEO
BLOGGED IN A LONG TIME.

HEY, Y'ALL.

I THINK IT'S GOING REALLY GOOD
UNTIL AMY STARTS, LIKE,

GETTING ON MY NERVES.

THE DIET IS GOING GREAT.

LIKE, I GET FULL
REALLY FAST NOW.

I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF.

I BEEN WITHOUT SODA 5 DAYS.

MICHAEL BOUGHT ME THIS SHIRT.

IT IS A 2XL, WHICH MEANS
I WENT DOWN TWO DRESS SIZES,

AND IT FITS ME
LIKE A GLOVE.

I CAN TELL I'VE LOST
SOME WEIGHT.

MY FACE LOOKS LONGER.

MY STOMACH LOOKS FATTER...

FLAT.

FLATTER. [ CHUCKLES ]

HERE.

OH, THAT'S SO CUTE!

COME HERE, LITTLE.

COME HERE. COME HERE.

FOR YOU.

[ LAUGHS ]

OH, LORD. DON'T TAKE ME
NO SKYDIVING AND ****

OH, NO, NO, NO.

THIS AND GRAVITY
DON'T MIX.

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE AT THIS
BACHELORETTE PARTY FOR AMY.

NEVER HAD WINE?

Man: HELLO, LADIES.

WE PUT SOME FOOD
ON THE TABLE.

Amy: FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS,
I'VE BEEN EATING REALLY GOOD.

I'VE BEEN EXERCISING, AND THIS
AIN'T NO TIME TO SLACK OFF,

BUT WE ARE GOING TO LET SOME
SLIDE AND HAVE A LITTLE FUN.

THIS IS OUR CALAMARI.

ALSO, WE HAVE ON THE TABLE
ALREADY SOME

DARK PROSCIUTTO AND GOUDA.

Tammy: DID YOU UNDERSTAND
HALF THE STUFF HE SAID?

NOPE.
[ LAUGHS ]

LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT
OF THIS RIESLING.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ LAUGHS ]

WE HAVE A FEW WINE, SO THIS ONE
IS GOING TO BE EVEN HARDER.

IT'S GOING TO BE DRY WINE.

IT IS ALL WHITE ZINFANDEL.

Angela: THERE SHE GOES.

THE FIRST TRY OF WINE,
IT WAS REALLY STRONG.

THE SECOND ONE WAS NASTY.
[ SNORTS ]

IT NEEDED LOTS OF SUGAR,

AND THEN THE THIRD WINE...

IT WAS GOOD.

WE'RE AT THE BACHELORETTE PARTY.

ME, DO SOMETHING?

NEVER!

ALWAYS.

Tammy: I HAVE A REALLY BIG
SURPRISE COMING FOR AMY,

AND THANKFULLY,
MICHAEL WORKS NIGHTS,

SO WE GOT THE HOUSE
TO OURSELVES.

WELL, YEAH.

YEAH.

Amy: I KNOW, RIGHT?

ARE YOU NERVOUS?

YES.

TODAY IS SUPPOSED TO BE
THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE,

BUT IT STARTED IT OUT
WITH SOME REALLY **** NEWS.

SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WASN'T
FEELING GOOD,

WHICH I UNDERSTAND,

BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE
SHE MAKES STUFF UP

BECAUSE SHE JUST
DON'T WANT TO GO.

SHE WENT TO THE OTHER KIDS'.
WHY NOT MINE?

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME
SHE MISSED IT.

MY FAMILY AIN'T REALLY
SUPPORTIVE OF EVERYTHING I DO.

I'M KIND OF USED TO PEOPLE
NOT SHOWING UP FOR ME.

IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT ALL MY LIFE.

WHY SHOULD IT CHANGE NOW?

WELL, LET'S PUT ALL THAT MESS
BEHIND US.

THIS IS YOUR DAY,

AND THEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE LOST

ALL THE WEIGHT
THAT I ASKED THEM TO LOSE.

IF THEY DON'T MEET THE GOALS
THAT I'VE GIVEN THEM,

COMFORTABLE OPERATING ON THEM

TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY

AFTERWARDS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

YEAH.

APPOINTMENT TODAY,

THAT SHE TAKES THIS MOMENTUM

INTO HER SURGERY AND BEYOND

IS THAT SHE'S WILLING TO MAKE
SOME BIG CHANGES

IN ORDER TO IMPROVE HER HEALTH.

CHANGES IN VERY LITTLE TIME,

THAT WE ASKED FOR.

Michael: GOOD!
I'M APPROVED.

TAMMY?
ARE YOU READY?

Tammy: YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET YOU BACK TO SEE
DR. PROCTER.

ALL RIGHT. AND WE'RE GOING TO GO
STRAIGHT BACK TO THAT OPEN DOOR.

HEY, TAMMY.
Tammy: HEY.

HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.

SO I TALKED TO YOUR SISTER
A LITTLE BIT AGO,

SHE'S MADE A LOT OF CHANGES,

BEEN GOING FOR YOU?

ABOUT THE SAME.

YEAH?
YEAH. A LOT OF CHANGES.

YEAH? HOW SO?
TELL ME ABOUT LIFE.

I'M MOVING AROUND MORE
AND EATING BETTER.

MM-HMM.

Dr. Procter: SO MY LAST
APPOINTMENT WITH TAMMY

DIDN'T GO VERY WELL.

SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS
STICKING TO HER DIET,

BUT WHEN SHE GOT
ON THE SCALE,

SHE HADN'T LOST
VERY MUCH WEIGHT AT ALL,

SO I REALLY HOPE THAT
SHE'S MADE THE CHANGES

THAT SHE NEEDS TO MAKE BECAUSE
IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH.

TAMMY IS ONE STEP AWAY
FROM BEING BEDRIDDEN.

WHEN I TALKED TO YOU LAST,

WHAT WAS THE GOAL
THAT I GAVE YOU?

550?

550.
YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN?

HMM.
YEAH. LET'S GO.

LET'S SEE WHERE WE ARE
WITH THINGS. OKAY?

WHEN I MET TAMMY,
SHE WAS AT 608 POUNDS.

WEIGHT LOSS,

OF THE WAY THERE.

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU COULD HAVE
MADE MORE OF A COMMITMENT

TO YOUR DIET?

NEED TO PROVE IT TO YOURSELF.

♪

TAMMY WAS A LONG WAY
FROM MEETING HER GOAL.

I KNOW SHE'S UPSET,
AND I HATE IT FOR HER,

BUT IT ILLUSTRATES THE FACT THAT
SHE DOESN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND

AND ISN'T READY TO MAKE
THE CHANGES THAT SHE NEEDS TO

TO MEET HER WEIGHT LOSS GOAL
AND EVENTUALLY HAVE SURGERY.

I WANT
TO SEE YOU GET HEALTHY.

I WANT TO SEE YOU GO OUT THERE
AND DO ALL THE THINGS

THAT YOU WANT TO DO
IN LIFE.

I'M NOT GOING TO DROP YOU
AS A PATIENT.

WE GOT SOME MORE WORK
TO DO.

ALL RIGHT?

AS LONG AS YOU'RE WILLING
NOT TO GIVE UP ON YOURSELF,

WE'RE NOT GOING
TO GIVE UP ON YOU.

OF COURSE I'LL KEEP TAMMY
AS A PATIENT.

THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH.

THIS ISN'T COSMETIC SURGERY.

I THINK TAMMY NEEDS A VICTORY.

I THINK THAT SHE NEEDS TO SEE
IN HER MIND

THAT SHE'S ABLE TO DO THIS,
AND RIGHT NOW,

I DON'T THINK
SHE BELIEVES THAT.

LET'S SEE YOU MAKE
A REAL EFFORT TOWARDS THIS.

GET DOWN BELOW 550,

AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR SURGERY.

OKAY?

IS IT A DEAL?
YES.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

YOU DON'T GO ANYWHERE
EITHER, OKAY?

OKAY.
I'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON.

Tammy: BEING DENIED FOR SURGERY
IS DEVASTATING.

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO WALK
TO THE WAITING ROOM

AND JUST TELL MY SISTER
THAT I WASN'T APPROVED

I LET HER DOWN AND MYSELF.

I'M AFRAID SHE'S GOING
TO GET MAD AT ME.

OH, HERE SHE IS.

SO?

OH, NO.

SEEING THE LOOK
ON TAMMY'S FACE

KIND OF PUT ME WITH DREAD
