TLC Discuss Caleb Willingham

Unfortunately,  it seems that Tammy’s husband had the choice to live or die, but the care home couldn’t make his decisions for him. In the Reddit comments, 1000-Lb Sisters fans chatted about the sad situation.

  • The only one that could have stopped him was himself. Getting therapy with a therapist who specializes in eating disorders is so important. I believe that is why Tammy finally became successful. She did start therapy while there but refused to film it, which was the right choice for her.
  • It’s the next town over from me, and I asked my friend who lives in the town if she heard of it. She instantly got heated they only have a dollar general and they take patients there and they will buy up all the food! She gets mad every other week! 🤣
  • Dr Now always talked about that on the episodes where people went to rehab. He could control their prescription diets at the hospital but could not once they were in rehab.

What are your thoughts on the fact that the rehab facility was actually a nursing home for those with dementia and bariatric problems? They won’t prevent the patients from buying and eating whatever they like. Mostly, it seems that the therapists help their larger patients fight their addictions, rather than lock them down like hospital patients. Let us know what you think in the comments below, and come back here for all your 1000-Lb Sisters news.
