1000-lb Sisters

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

So what inspired this video?

Shut... stop now.

Damn.

Her face.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

You shut up too.

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.

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.

We're here.

.

Hi.

How are you?

You look beautiful.

You look awesome.

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

Look down at your belly for me.

Looking good, mama.

I love what the wind is doing with your dress.

Beautiful.

Oh.

I farted though.

Blame it on the baby.

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?

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.

Good, mom.

You just fell right in.

You go girl.

I think that's it.

Y'all did an awesome job.

Thank you so much.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, OK.

Ooh.

Mm-hmm.

Really?

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.

I'll be back.

A'ight.

I'll be back.

Yeah.

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

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

Right.

Oh, no.

Oh, my god.

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.

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.

Hi.

Welcome. TAMMY: Hello.

Hello.

Can I get a name?

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?

Yeah.

How are you guys doing today? Good.

And you?

Good.

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.

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?

OK.

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?

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? Good.

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.

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.

Great.

OK.

Put your head just like that.

OK.

Let's take this out.

There you go.

So when it comes to everything we did today,

do you have any questions?

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.
