Dr. Smith Speaks To The Slatons
A few days ago, fans got to see the surgeon have a quick chat with Tammy's siblings, Amy and Chris Slaton, concerning her habits and how her mental health had deteriorated further. In his monologue, Dr. Smith noted that he last saw Tammy three months ago, and at the time she had not made much of an effort toward her weight loss. The celebrity doctor noted that he just thought to swing by to show his support as he had nothing to lose in doing that.
Dr. Smith met up with Tammy's family members, and after asking after the TV star, Chris relayed that he would not be surprised if Tammy was back to "690, 700 pounds." Amy chipped in letting the doctor know that Tammy had returned to drinking hard liquor. At this point, Dr. Smith noted that they needed to get to the toot of the problem and not just help her to stop drinking.
Amy recalled telling Tammy that the drinking was not good for her, but she noted that the latter replied that she needed to work on her mental health. Dr. Smith then stated that Tammy was right as her mental health was not good while adding that she has to be willing to do something about it and talk to a therapist.
