Speaking to The Sun, Amy Slaton Halterman explained that her sister Tammy’s rehab facility is “isolating.” Situated in Ohio, the facility is some distance from their home in Kentucky. However, it’s still “the best place” for her sister to get the help she needs. The goal is to have Tammy lose enough weight to safely undergo bariatric surgery, which will help her drop the pounds even more quickly and get down to a healthier size.
“I think the last time I spoke to her she was about 556, 558 [pounds],” Halterman said, adding, “She misses us, she don’t know nobody up there, she’s making friends.”
The “1000-Lb Sisters” co-star also discussed Tammy’s rocky history with men. “I didn’t like any of her boyfriends, they were cool to talk to but not [suitable for a] relationship,” she disclosed, adding that Tammy has a tendency to go all-in when she falls for a man, even to the point of ignoring her health. “She don’t care what they eat is unhealthy or not … She’s like, ‘What do you want to eat? Pizza? OK, let’s go get it.’ She was not worried about the repercussions to her body.”
Halterman concluded the interview by expressing her hopes for her big sister. “I hope she meets someone who supports her, and I hope she has some kind of surgery when she comes out of rehab.”
