Tammy’s journey has been closely followed by her fans since 1000-Lb. Sisters began airing in 2020. After her bariatric surgery in mid-2022, she continued to document her progress, revealing that by December 2023, she had reached approximately 285 pounds, losing a total of 440 pounds.
Throughout her journey, Tammy has shared various snapshots of her life, from posing in a floral dress in June to a group photo with her brother Chris Combs and YouTuber Chelcie Lynn. However, the year also brought heartache.
On July 1st, Tammy mourned the loss of her husband, Caleb Willingham, posting on Instagram, “Rip, sweet angel, you will forever be missed and loved so much. Thank you, Caleb, for showing me real love and happiness.”
Despite the challenges, Tammy’s journey has been one of triumph. In April 2024, after sharing new selfies, her weight loss surgeon, Dr. Eric Smith, praised her progress, commenting, “You are killing it!”
