The star couldn’t control her emotions after knowing her weight. She said with tears in her eyes, “I just don’t feel good.” The star said further in the clip that she could remember when she got to the weight loss rehab facility in Ohio. It was hard for her to go back because she was battling heavy drinking, vaping, and depression. She explained she had a health emergency shortly after she got to rehab.
Tammy said, “I was here maybe less than 30 minutes and my oxygen level dropped. I had to be taken to the hospital. They put me in a medically induced coma.” While talking about the day she was rushed to the hospital from rehab, she said, “I don’t remember any of it… nothing. I completely blacked out. I woke up like a week later here in the hospital on life support.”
During a confession, she claimed that she heard voices of her family while in the coma and faintly remembers them holding her hand. She reveals, “I woke up like a week later. The first person I text is a group text to me, [sister] Amy, and [brother] Chris. I sent them a picture like, ‘It’s’ me!’”
