AMY (VOICEOVER): Previously on "1,000-Lb Sisters."

So what inspired this video?

Shut... stop now.

Damn. [chuckles]

[imitating tammy] Her face.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

[laughter]

You shut up too.

[music playing]

[tractor banging]

Right now, I'm seven months pregnant.

Sometimes I still don't believe that I'm pregnant.

I don't think I'll feel like it's real

until I have him in my arms.

I know.

I want to enjoy my time being pregnant,

so me and Michael are going to do a maternity photo shoot.

This is a dream to have a baby, and I

want to have pictures of me being pregnant while I

was with my child.

AMY: Right now, I'm just glad that we're

doing a photo shoot because I ain't got to worry

about Tammy or any other thing.

I can just get it out of my head for a while.

[music playing]

We're here.

[chuckles].

[chuckles]

AMY YATES: Hi.

How are you?

You look beautiful.

WOMAN: You look awesome.

[laughs]

If you just, kind of, stand and hold your belly.

Look down at your belly for me.

WOMAN: Looking good, mama.

WOMAN: I love what the wind is doing with your dress.

AMY YATES: Beautiful.

[shutter clicks]

[laughs]

AMY YATES: Oh.

[chuckles]

[flatulating]

AMY: I farted though.

[laughs] Blame it on the baby.

[laughs]

AMY YATES: This is my first maternity shoot with a costume.

Amy and Michael are such a cute couple,

and Amy just loves to joke and carry on.

And Michael is so sweet.

He's been holding her hand and making sure she don't fall.

Can you come forward a little bit, dad?

Yeah.

There you go.

Can you give mom a kiss?

[shutter clicks]

Awesome, you two.

This day was the most fun since I've been pregnant.

Yeah.

And dad, can you give her a kiss

on the side of the neck there?

Aw.

WOMAN: Good, mom.

You just fell right in.

AMY YATES: [chuckles]

WOMAN: You go girl.

[laughs]

AMY YATES: I think that's it.

Y'all did an awesome job.

AMY: Thank you so much.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[music playing]

Oh, OK.

JERRY: Ooh.

[tammy winces]

JERRY: Mm-hmm.

JERRY: Really?

TAMMY: [laughs]

JERRY: I know Amy.

She worries about Tammy's diet because that's her sister.

I do feel bad when I eat certain things in front of Tammy

because I know she ain't supposed to have it.

I still do it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I enjoy myself here too.

[chuckles]

JERRY: I'll be back.

A'ight.

I'll be back.

[somber music]

[upbeat music]

[mower roaring]

Yeah.

TAMMY (VOICEOVER): So while I'm at the dentist,

Jerry's just going to hang out at my house.

TAMMY: Right.

Oh, no.

Oh, my god.

[laughs]

TAMMY: Yeah.

I don't think I can.

What's the deal with Tammy?

She was having a heck of a time getting in the van.

CHRIS: Jerry's here munching on a bag of cheese puffs.

I want to talk to him, man to man, to see what's going on.

[music playing]

RECEPTIONIST: Hi.

Welcome. TAMMY: Hello.

CHRIS: Hello.

Can I get a name?

TAMMY: Tammy Slaton.

All right.

We've got you there.

If you want to take a seat, someone

will be out to get you soon.

Ms. Tammy, you ready?

TAMMY: Yeah.

How are you guys doing today? TAMMY: Good.

And you?

Good.

CHRIS: Tammy has to get up and be more physical.

So when I see an opportunity for something like that,

I try to motivate her and push her to her limits,

that way she gets in as much exercise as possible.

[heavy breathing]

Hello, Tammy.

How are you?

I'm Dr. Adam.

Nice to meet you.

Tell me, what are you wanting help with?

OK.

And before you... There's no reason

to feel embarrassed about that.

Let me ask you this.

Are you having pain anywhere?

OK.

How often do you brush?

DR. ADAM: OK.

DR. ADAM: Oh, yeah.

And to be honest, we should be doing it twice every day.

So we're going to work on that.

No pressure.

No judgment or anything.

We're just going to say, you know what?

We're trying to get things on a better track, OK?

So let's get into it, and let's just take a look.

Why don't we get you situated back here.

Lean back here, and I can help you however we need.

Good.

If I need to help... is that? Here.

Hold on.

We might be blocked in here.

Let me check. Nice and tight.

There we go.

So we won't rotate on you.

There you go.

Are you comfortable there?

TAMMY: Yeah. DR. ADAM: OK.

I'm going to put... adjust your headrest so that your head's

in a better position there.

OK.

How is that right there? TAMMY: Good.

DR. ADAM: Is that OK?

Do you feel stable and comfortable?

Great.

In my 11 years as a dentist, I can't

say that I've had a lot of bariatric patients

that are dealing with the kinds of things Tammy's dealing with.

We have checked out the specifications of the chairs

to make sure that everything is safe and stable for her,

but also that we can accommodate the things that we need to do

without compromising things.

All right, Tammy.

So what we're going start with, I'mma have

you just smile for me.

OK.

We definitely are due for a cleaning,

so you basically have two front teeth

missing that we're looking at replacing, I would assume.

DR. ADAM: The good news is this, Tammy.

For being 10 years and brushing, you know,

twice a week, you have a lot of buildup,

but your teeth are in decent shape.

So we're starting off with a good foundation, hopefully.

I would like to start off with a temporary option.

It'd, kind of, be like a retainer,

but would give you that tooth that matches the color

and shape of everything and fits in that space

to have in the meantime while we make the other one, OK?

The next step is going to be taking some impressions

and to get the shape of your teeth

so we can have those things made.

Are you ready for that? - Mm-hmm.

DR. ADAM: Great.

OK.

Put your head just like that.

OK.

Let's take this out.

There you go.

DR. ADAM: So when it comes to everything we did today,

do you have any questions?

DR. ADAM: Sure.

No.

You know, what you would notice is when we lose weight, a lot

of times, if we lose weight around the head and neck area

and in the jaw area, you might find that you have a little bit

easier access to get back to the back portion your teeth

and clean your teeth and things like that.

But overall, you do everything the same.

You know, as you lose the weight,

we want you to just continue to brush your teeth two times

a day.

[chuckles]

DR. ADAM: And try to get in to see me, you know,

twice a year, OK?

Well, come on.

Let's dance out of here.

TAMMY: [chuckles] This is Jerry and my official first date.

Oh, [bleep].

I'm feeling nervous about telling Jerry about my secret.

I need to get in there and get it over with.

Rip the band-aid off.

So, Jerry, I got some stuff that we need to talk about.

[upbeat music]

Well, you know I got to go back.

CHRIS: The other day, I gave Tammy a talking to.

I want to make damn sure Jerry is good for Tammy.

So I want to talk to him, man to man, to see what's going on.

[tammy burps]

TAMMY: Excuse me.

What are you doing?

What's going on?

Jerry, this my brother Chris.

Chris, Jerry.

JERRY: What's up, Chris?

Nice meeting you.

A'ight.

This is for you because it's about to whip your ass.

TAMMY: Oh, god.

CHRIS: Low-impact exercise.

That's what you got to have, right?

I'm coming over here.

Perfect spot on the couch.

Jerry's on the couch munching on a bag of cheese puffs.

What brought you to the cornfields of Kentucky?

[chuckles]

You might want a refund.

TAMMY: No.

[laughter]

JERRY: Well, um, I'm about to head out to the store.

I'll see y'all later.

JERRY: OK.

TAMMY: Lord Jesus, help us.

Oh, Jesus.

What's up?

Mm-hmm.

JERRY: OK.

Well, I want the best for Tammy.

- OK. - A'ight.

JERRY: A'ight.

I think it's going to be, kind of,

hard for me because I love junk food.

So I gotta see how it's gonna play out.

[chuckles]

[knocking]

I'm back.

I didn't pull a gun or nothing.

We're cool.

TAMMY: OK.

CHRIS: Nothing he eats is healthy.

CHRIS: If Jerry sticks around, he's

going to have to change his ways because Tammy

has a food addiction.

Today, I thought it would be good to bring

over this pedal bike I got.

Take the bike for a spin, Tammy.

We got the doctor's appointment coming up,

so we want to put a good, strong effort

in, and show up with some good positive results.

It's not too horrible on you is it?

TAMMY: I understand why Chris is worried.

I know I messed up, and I'm trying to lose weight,

but I can't quit it cold turkey.

I mean, some people can, but I'm human.

Three minutes a day on top and bottom, arms and legs.

[music playing]

TAMMY: Don't forget your masks.

AMY: This visit with Jerry has been really stressful.

And since he's going back home soon,

Tammy wanted to go on a date with him.

TAMMY: [bleep].

MICHAEL: Oh, OK.

MICHAEL: A little bump there.

TAMMY: Don't you love it how we match almost?

We're not even close.

[laughs]

We're not even close.

WAITRESS: Can I get y'all started off with anything?

AMY: I want fiesta pineapple.

WAITRESS: OK.

WAITRESS: OK.

AMY: He wants a taco bowl with steak in it.

WAITRESS: Just steak?

Yeah, just steak. WAITRESS: Cheese?

Steak and cheese, yeah.

OK.

TAMMY: Thank you.

WAITRESS: You're welcome.

WAITRESS: Yes, ma'am.

You sure you don't want the tortillas?

And what's that?

[laughs]

TAMMY: No.

No.

You can tell me anything.

AMY: Tammy wants to tell Jerry this big secret because she

wants him to know the real her.

Tammy needs to tell him because they're in a relationship,

and he needs to know.

[suspense music]

And what's that?

You can tell me anything.

What is it?

JERRY: So what you're saying is that you

would date a transgender guy?

Yeah.

Or girl.

A'ight.

I mean, it is what it is, Tammy.

I still love you though.

I'm still trying to figure out what it means,

but I'm OK with it.

I love Tammy the way she is.

[clears throat]

Shut up.

[laughs]

TAMMY: I'm happy that he took it pretty well.

[laughs]

What?

[laughs]

[laughter]

Really?

[laughter]

JERRY: Oh.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Bitch.

[chuckles]

[music playing]

JERRY: With you.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

JERRY: Tammy told me that Michael

and Amy was moving soon, and Tammy going to be alone.

That's going to be a lot of pressure

on me staying or wanting to stay to help Tammy.

OK.

[bleep].

[laughs]

No.

I'm not ready to take on that responsibility.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So you gonna stick to this weight loss?

Mm-hmm.

You sure?

[laughs].

Yes.

JERRY: For real, Tammy.

Man, I'm serious. - Yes, Jerry.

JERRY: It's serious.

JERRY: I want Tammy to lose about, like, 200 pounds.

Get this surgery so she can live a normal life.

[laughs] I got to go though.

JERRY: A'ight.

JERRY: A'ight.

I will.

[somber music]

[engine starts]

[somber music]

CHRIS: We're pretty close to the end of the rope

because everybody's helped as much as they can.

Maybe we can have an intervention first.

I think Tammy worries that she'll never see Jerry again.

I'm hoping she don't give up.

Part of me died that day he left.

[somber music]

Hey, y'all.

Um, Jerry has been gone for two, three days.

Three days.

I miss him.

I can't sleep very good because he's not there.

I miss him holding me at night.

I don't feel like the same person I was.

A part of me died that day he left.

And everybody's telling me, you're going to be OK.

He'll be back. He'll be back.

He'll be back.

Yeah.

But until then, I'm lost.

I don't know what to do.

I got used to him being here.

Having Jerry here in Kentucky helped cheer

me up and get me motivated.

Anyways.

[upbeat music]

CHRIS: Would be a windy day, wouldn't it?

Today, we're having Amy's baby shower,

and I volunteered to come help out.

Tammy's idea was to set this up, but she needed help

actually physically doing it.

Hey, what are y'all doing?

Y'all going to stay a while, or are you

just going to stay in the van?

TAMMY: That's a little ass ramp.

CHRIS: We'll make it work.

You ready, Tammy?

Yeah.

[chris grunting]

CHRIS: Ooh, OK.

All right.

You ready to go now?

TAMMY: Yeah?

CHRIS: I tried.

CHRIS: Come on.

[tammy grunting]

CHRIS: Now the...

There you go.

TAMMY: Jerry's not here.

He left, and he had to go back to his house.

I miss him, but I'm looking forward to the baby shower.

I never threw a baby shower before, so this might be fun.

Hi.

Can you put gifts on that table, please?

That's our sister, Misty.

And then that's Britney, Chris' wife, our sister-in-law.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

TAMMY: Little.

CHRIS: Oh, here we go.

They're showing up.

AMY: But I'm really worried about Tammy.

I know she ain't sticking to her diet since Jerry left.

I'm hoping now that the family's here,

we have a chance to talk about her weight.

This is so beautiful.

Thank you guys.

TAMMY: You're welcome.

CHRIS: We're all still on a diet,

so I did get some healthier options.

I got some veggie trays, some chicken

wings, chicken salad sandwich.

MISTY: Chicken salad's healthy?

Well, it's healthier than ribs.

[laughs]

Compared to my barbecues and us pigging out

till we can't walk to the cars, you know,

this is a whole lot better.

A lot healthier.

It is compared to my ribs, you know, 3,000 calories a plate.

[laughs]

TAMMY: Thank you.

You're trying to eat healthy, so I did give you a chicken

wing and a 1/4 of a sandwich.

Wipe your face.

Dang.

TAMMY: No.

Oh, stop it!

[laughter]

Stop it.

I think it's peanut butter.

ALL: No.

Ugh!

CHRIS: She is the... ugh!

[laughs]

MISTY: You guys want to play a game of bocce?

CHRIS: Where we gonna play, like out here

on the side around the green?

MISTY: Yeah.

AMY: Come on, Little.

CHRIS: You know, Misty's kids love the game of bocce ball,

so she did bring it.

As kids growing up, we played volleyball, and football,

and everything in the yard.

[laughs]

CHRIS: So what do you do, just, like, throw the ball out

there in the middle somewhere?

MISTY: Yeah.

Kind of like marbles then, right?

MISTY: Yeah.

But do you really want to get down

on the ground to play marbles?

CHRIS: All right, Amy.

[laughter] Thank you.

Thank you.

You're not supposed to help him.

I'm sorry.

[laughter]

So what's the deal with Tammy?

She was having a heck of a time this morning getting in the van

and all of that.

Yeah, it would.

The doctor told us when we was in Atlanta

if she'd become immobile, that she pretty

much lost the battle then.

What she's doing is just not working.

So how do we hinder her calorie intake?

MISTY: Oh, my Lord.

32 in two days?

Come on now.

Maybe we can have an intervention first.

AMY: With Tammy, she does tend to eat her feelings.

I think Tammy worries that she'll never see Jerry again,

so I'm scared that she'll gain a lot more weight.

I'm hoping she don't give up.

She's running out of options.

If we have an intervention, she's

going to go off like a volcano.

Yeah.

And I didn't say it was going to be easy.

Maybe it's better for her to go off as a volcano

because we love her, and we're trying to help her.

TAMMY (VOICEOVER): Next time on...

AMY (VOICEOVER): "1,000-Lb Sisters."

Am I going to have an OK birth?

I don't think it'll be completely

smooth as far as labor goes.

I don't want to hear that giving birth to my baby,

I'm going to have some issues.

TRAINER: Oh, you're doing great.

TAMMY: Amy having this baby gives

me a reason to reset my life.

TRAINER: Apparently, you want to work, right?

You want to work.

Hey, no resting for me.

PRODUCER: How do you feel seeing her try hard?

It's kind of like shocking, ha.

[laughter]

My thigh.

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

PRODUCER: She's in pain.

MAN: We had to go.

[intense music]
