IT'S NOT THAT, TAMMY.
YES, YOU DID.
WHEN?
I THINK YOU'RE HEARING
VOICES
THAT AIN'T REALLY THERE.
Tammy: I MEAN,
I UNDERSTAND SOMEWHA
THAT THEY WANT ALONE TIME,
BUT I'M NOT READY
TO MOVE ON MY OWN YET.
I STILL CAN'T COOK FOR MYSELF.
I STILL CAN'T GO TO THE STORE
AND BUY FOOD.
I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY
I'M SELFISH,
BUT I'M ALONE AND HELP ME.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I DON'T YELL AT YOU
24/7.
OKAY.
EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND,
IT'S, "AMY, AMY, AMY."
OKAY.
I WANT TO CHANGE
MY DAMN NAME.
OKAY. WELL
♪♪♪♪
NO.
YEAH, SHE GETS ON MY NERVES
AND EVERYTHING,
BUT TAMMY ALWAYS NEEDED ME
TO TAKE CARE OF HER,
SO I THINK SHE'S JUS
SCARED TO BE ON HER OWN.

Amy: THIS PAST MONTH
HAS BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT.
I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN
TRYING REALLY HARD,
WENT TO THE GYM MORE,
AND STUFF LIKE THAT,
BUT I'M PRETTY MUCH
GOING INTO THIS BLIND
BECAUSE I HAVEN'
WEIGHED MYSELF.
YEP.
Tammy:
THE CLOSER I GET TO ATLANTA,
THE MORE AND MORE NERVOUS I GET.
MY ANXIETY KEEPS
GETTING WORSE
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE OUTCOME IS GONNA BE.
♪♪♪♪
I WORRY ABOU
WHEN WE WERE KIDS
YEAH?
♪♪♪♪
TODAY, WE'RE BACK IN ATLANTA
TO GO SEE DR. PROCTER.
HOPEFULLY, I LOST ENOUGH WEIGH
TO MAKE HIM HAPPY.
- AMY.
- HEY!
- HOW ARE YOU?
- FINE. HOW ARE YOU?
HI.
YOU READY TO COME BACK?
- YES, MA'AM.
- ALRIGHT.
Airika: COME ON IN.
HAVE A SEAT.
♪♪♪♪
HEY, AMY.
Amy: HEY. HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD. HOW ARE YOU DOING?
GOOD.
IT'S BEEN A FEW WEEKS.
I KNOW, RIGHT?
MY BIGGEST CONCERN
SINCE I LAST MET WITH THEM
ARE WHETHER OR NOT THEY COULD
MAKE THESE DIET CHANGES
THAT THEY NEEDED TO DO.
I'M INTERESTED TO SEE NOW
WHAT KIND OF STEPS
THEY'VE TAKEN TOWARDS
A MORE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
TODAY, THEY HAVE TO SHOW
THAT THEY'RE COMMITTED,
SO THEY CAN PROVE TO ME
AND PROVE TO EACH OTHER
THAT THEY'RE GONNA DO WHA
IT TAKES TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL.
SO, UH, WE TALKED ABOU
A LOT OF THINGS
WHEN I SAW YOU GUYS LAST.
TELL ME ABOUT I
A LITTLE BIT.
HOW'S IT BEEN
WORKING OUT FOR YOU?
THAT SOUNDS FANTASTIC.
THEY WORK YOU UP
PRETTY HARD?
YEAH.
DID TAMMY DO IT ALSO?
NO.
OH, OKAY.
YOU DOING SOME MEAL
REPLACEMENT DRINKS ALSO?
YEAH.
GOOD.
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE
REALLY SORT OF EMBRACED
THIS LIFESTYLE CHANGE
AND TAKING AHOLD OF THINGS,
SO YOU READY TO SEE
IF THE WORK'S PAID OFF?
YEAH.
LET'S GET UP ON THE SCALE
AND TAKE A LOOK AT THINGS.
♪♪♪♪
♪♪♪♪
SO FAR, THINGS ARE LOOKING
PRETTY GOOD.
YOU'VE TOLD ME THA
YOU'VE MADE SOME BIG CHANGES.
YOU'RE WORKING OUT.
YOUR WEIGHT'S GOING
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION,
BUT, YOU KNOW, BASED ON
WHAT THE SCALE'S SHOWING,
YOU'RE NOT EVEN HALFWAY
TO YOUR GOAL YET.
I KNOW.
I WAN
TO SEE YOU GET THERE,
BUT THIS IS THE RATE
WE'RE GOING RIGHT NOW,
THIS IS JUST NO
GONNA CUT IT.
WE REALLY NEED
TO STEP IT UP NOW.
A 10-POUND WEIGHT LOSS IS GOOD,
BUT AMY CAN DO
A LOT BETTER THAN THAT,
ESPECIALLY OVER
THE COURSE OF A MONTH.
AT HER WEIGHT,
SHE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO DROP WEIGHT FAIRLY QUICKLY.
WE REALLY NEED
TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND
THE CHANGES THAT THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO MAKE
IN ORDER TO BE
SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS,
AND IT DOESN'T STOP
WHEN WE GET TO SURGERY.
THIS IS ONGOING FOR
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
SO, LISTEN,
WHEN YOU COME BACK,
I WANT TO SEE
YOUR WEIGHT DOWN.
I WANT TO SEE YOU
AT 375 POUNDS.
THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE
OR DEATH FOR YOU.
DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN,
AND I'LL SEE YOU BACK
IN A MONTH.
OKAY.
YOUR TURN.
♪♪♪♪
DR. PROCTER GAVE ME A PRETTY BIG
WEIGHT GOAL TO LOSE --
60 POUNDS.
I THINK I AM EATING BETTER
AND I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO BE MORE ACTIVE,
BUT I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH WEIGH
I'VE LOST OR GAINED.
TAMMY, HOW ARE YOU?
I'M HERE.
YOU'RE HERE.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
LAST TIME I SAW YOU,
WE KIND OF SAT DOWN
AND WE TALKED ABOU
A LOT OF CHANGES
YOU'RE GONNA MAKE
AND SO FORTH.
SO TELL ME ABOUT LIFE
SINCE THEN.
YEAH?
SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE ONE
TO KIND OF COOK
AND DO MOST OF THE SHOPPING
AND SO FORTH.
SO SHE'S REGULATING
WHAT BOTH OF YOU GUYS EAT?
RIGHT.
OKAY. SO DO YOU HELP
HER MAKE THE LIST?
YES.
ALRIGHT, SO YOU GUYS
COMING UP WITH THIS TOGETHER,
MAKING SURE
THAT YOU'RE DOING
THE RIGHT THINGS
AND SO FORTH.
OKAY. SO LET'S GET UP
ON THE SCALE
AND SEE WHERE WE ARE
WITH THINGS, OKAY?
OKAY.
I'M GONNA HELP YOU OUT.
YOU NEED THIS?
♪♪♪♪
♪♪♪♪
♪♪♪♪
THAT WOULD PUT ME ABOU
HALFWAY THROUGH MY GOAL.
♪♪♪♪
♪♪♪♪
HAVE A SEAT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THINGS.
IT'S TERRIBLE.
SO LISTEN, YOU'RE NOT EVEN
CLOSE TO YOUR GOAL.
YOU'VE HARDLY LOST ANY WEIGH
SINCE I SAW YOU LAST TIME.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN
DOING ANYTHING
THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
AS OF RIGHT NOW,
I'VE GOT SERIOUS DOUBTS
WE'RE GONNA HAVE
THE SURGERY.
IF YOU ASK ME TODAY,
I'D SAY NO.
Dr. Procter: TAMMY TELLS ME
THAT SHE'S DOING WELL,
THEN SHE PUTS UP A NUMBER
TELLING ME THA
SHE REALLY HASN'T MADE
ANY CHANGES AT ALL.
AT HER SIZE,
SHE SHOULD HAVE DROPPED
QUITE A BIT OF WEIGHT BY NOW.
MY SUSPICION IS THA
SHE'S NOT FOLLOWING
ALL THE DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT WE'VE GIVEN HER
IN ORDER TO LOSE THE WEIGHT.
WHAT'S BEEN
HOLDING YOU BACK?
WHAT HAS BEEN
THE BIGGEST DOWNFALL
WITH REGARDS TO HOLDING YOU
BACK FROM LOSING WEIGHT?
IS YOUR SISTER
SUPPORTIVE?
TO A POINT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SHE NEEDS TO BE
MORE HELPFUL TO YOU?
HOW SO?
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND
SHE DOES THE SHOPPING
AND THE COOKING AND SO FORTH.
HOW CAN SHE HELP MORE?
WELL, PART OF THIS,
AND WHAT I SEE
WHEN I SEE FOLKS
WHO ARE
IN YOUR SIZE RANGE,
IS ONCE YOU GET THERE,
YOU BECOME MORE
AND MORE DEPENDEN
ON OTHER PEOPLE
AROUND YOU.
AND ONCE THAT HAPPENS,
NEXT THING YOU'RE BEDRIDDEN.
NEXT THING YOU'RE DEPENDING
ON EVERYBODY FOR EVERYTHING.
SO HONESTLY,
I WANT TO SEE YOU
DO THESE THINGS
FOR YOURSELF.
IF YOU'RE THIRSTY, YOU NEED
TO GET SOMETHING TO DRINK,
GET UP AND GE
SOMETHING TO DRINK.
I KNOW IT HURTS.
I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE PAINFUL.
AND SOMETIMES SEEM LIKE
IT'S NOT WORTH IT
IT BECOMES VERY EASY TO BLAME
FAILURE TO DO THE THINGS
THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO
ON SOMEBODY ELSE,
BUT TAMMY'S NOT BED-BOUND.
SHE CAN GET UP, SHE CAN DO
SOME OF HER OWN SHOPPING
AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SHE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT HER
HEALTH IS HER RESPONSIBILITY.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REMIND YOU
THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH.
WHAT I TALKED ABOU
LAST TIME,
THAT WASN'T JUS
TO SCARE YOU.
I HOPE IT DID,
BUT IT'S TRUE.
I DON'T SEE YOU
LIVING MUCH LONGER
UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS.
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN
DOUBLE DOWN YOUR EFFORTS
AND YOU THINK
YOU CAN SHOW ME
THAT YOU'RE GONNA PU
SOMETHING INTO THIS,
THEN I'LL LOOK
AT IT AGAIN.
BUT I'M NOT CHANGING
YOUR GOAL.
RIGHT.
OKAY? WHEN I SEE YOU BACK
IN A MONTH,
I WANT TO SEE YOU
AT THAT GOAL.
AT THAT POINT,
WE'LL DECIDE
WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GONNA
GET YOUR SURGERY DONE.
WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO
WITH BOTH OF YOU GUYS.
SO I WANT BOTH OF YOU
TO GO TOGETHER,
SIT DOWN
AND HAVE A SESSION
WITH THE BARIATRIC
PSYCHOLOGIST, OKAY?
BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED
ABOUT THINGS.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR HEAD'S
IN THE RIGHT PLACE WITH THIS.
ALRIGHT? SO WHY DON'T YOU
GO MEET WITH HIM
AND LET'S TALK AGAIN
AFTER THAT?
OKAY.
ALRIGHT. SEE YOU SOON.
SEE YOU.
♪♪♪♪
I FEEL DEFEATED.
DR. PROCTER SUGGESTED
I START BEING MORE ACTIVE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW CONFIDENT I AM
THAT I CAN DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IT.
Tammy: AFTER THE APPOINTMEN
WITH DR. PROCTER,
ALL I COULD DO WAS JUST THINK
WHAT I DID WRONG.
SO I
I'M FEELINGMAD AT MYSELF.
UPSET.
[ SNIFFLING ]
I DO WISH I NEVER
♪♪♪♪
NEVER GOTTO THIS SIZE.
I WISH
I CONTINUED ON MY DIETS
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.

♪♪♪♪
HI, TAMMY, AMY.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'M DR. RITZ.
LET'S GO ON BACK TO THE OFFICE.
ALRIGHT.
SO I DON'T ALWAYS
GET SISTERS
WHO ARE GETTING READY TO DO
THEIR BARIATRIC SURGERY
CLOSE TO THE SAME TIME.
ESPECIALLY, SISTERS
WHO ARE LIVING
WITH EACH OTHER.
SO I'M CURIOUS ABOU
HOW THAT'S BEEN
GOING SO FAR.
JUST LITTLE SQUABBLE.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS
SQUABBLE ABOUT?
DOES SHE RELY ON YOU TO DO
THE SHOPPING IN THE FAMILY?
OKAY.
ARE THERE FOODS
ON THAT LIS
THAT YOU THINK
TO YOURSELF,
"HMM. THAT MAY NOT BE
THE MOST SENSIBLE
OR HEALTHY THING
FOR TAMMY TO HAVE"?
YES.
OKAY.
AMY, SOMETIMES YOUR WAY
OF CARING
MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT
INTENSE.
BUT YOU WERE
ASKING YOUR SISTER
TO GET THEM FOR YOU,
TAMMY.
YOU KNOW THAT.
I MEAN, IT'S STILL ON YOU
TO DECIDE WHAT YOU PU
IN YOUR MOUTH
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR SISTER
GETS FOR YOU.
Tammy: I KNOW I COULD'VE BEEN
DOING BETTER.
BUT TRYING TO MAKE CHANGES
IN MY LIFE IS VERY DIFFICULT.
SO, TAMMY, YOU'RE RELYING
ON AMY A LOT.
AMY, YOU HOLD ONTO
A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY.
♪♪♪♪
THAT'S A LO
OF WORRY YOU HAVE.
THAT CAN BE
PRETTY EXHAUSTING.
YEAH.
SO YOU HAVE GUIL
FROM YEARS AGO ABOUT THAT.
WOW.
YOU CAN'T LE
ALL THAT BURDEN GET YOU.
YOU GOT TO LET IT GO.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
OF THE WORD "CODEPENDENCY"?
THAT MEANS DEPENDING
UPON SOMEBODY ELSE,
BUT IN A WAY THA
HAS A NEGATIVE OUTCOME.
SO HANGING ON
TO SOMEBODY ELSE
WHO'S DROWNING MEANS
YOU'RE GOING DOWN, TOO.
THAT'S CODEPENDENCY.
FOR YOU TO BE
SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS,
AS SUCCESSFUL
AS YOU CAN,
IF YOU DON'T WORRY
ABOUT YOURSELF FIRST,
IT'S GONNA BE HARDER FOR YOU
TO LOSE THE WEIGH
AND KEEP IT OFF.
AND, TAMMY, I WANT YOU
TO REALLY WORK HARD
ON FIGURING OU
HOW TO HAVE MORE INDEPENDENCE
IN YOUR LIFE.
I DO DREAM OF HAVING
A NORMAL LIFE,
AND I WANT TO BE INDEPENDENT.
I WANT TO BE FREE,
BUT IT'S REALLY HARD.
I HAVE TO BE
MORE CONFIDENT IN MYSELF.
THANKS FOR BOTH OF YOU
BEING HERE.
THANK YOU.

ABOUT A WEEK AGO,
