He has previously warned Tammy of how dangerous her eating habits can be, and now often weighs the reality star to track progress during her recent attempt to lose weight.

Dr. Eric Smith recently gave Tammy the devastating news that she could die if she doesn’t change her lifestyle.
It is not the first time he has given the 1000-lb Sisters star the fatal warning. During the December 6th episode, he told Tammy that he believes she left rehabilitation too soon.
The appointment revealed that Tammy had gained nearly 15 pounds since her last weigh-in three weeks before. This means she is now at a weight of 639 pounds, despite walking a lot more than usual – at 200 steps a day rather than 75.
Dr. Smith then said Tammy is in danger of having a cardiac or lung event. It comes after she admitted to brother Chris that she has been having cheat days during her diet, such as two slices of pizza on one day, and a bacon cheeseburger.
Making out that she eats healthier than she actually is during the appointment, Chris called her out on her lies, before Eric told Tammy he feels frustrated with her.
He encouraged her to lose weight on her own, without the help of a facility.
