Did The Show Pay For Tammy’s Surgery?

However, several commenters mentioned that surgeons and medical facilities would offer free service just to be on TV, as it greatly promotes their names. Tammy and her siblings never talked about who was paying for their surgeries. But considering the show’s massive success, some believe that TLC is also covering the operations.

“If it’s anything like the other reality shows, the surgeons give them pro bono surgeries in exchange for the advertisements of their clinics on the show.”
“I know that my 600 lb life requires that either insurance or the patient pay for their own surgery. They’re both TLC, so I’d imagine that the cast of 1000 lb sisters also is responsible for their own surgeries.”
“My 600 lb life is supposed to pay for surgery. They don’t but they’re supposed to. According to multiple people that were on the show.”
“I have wondered this too. The only other thing I could think of is that their private insurances would approve them if they were a certain weight but im sure if the show is “their only income” then there’s got to be some plan set.”
