1000-Lb Sisters Star Amanda Halterman’s Recent Major Health Scare Explained

When she made her television debut, Amanda weighed over 300 pounds. She’d already had bariatric surgery once in 2017. Amanda had incredible results but went on to gain the weight back. During 1000-lb Sisters season 5, Amanda announced she’d be having revision surgery. After having the second surgery, Amanda suffered a serious setback, and she didn’t lose much weight. Her health became an issue in other ways, including with her most recent trip to the emergency room. Since the incident, Amanda has been waiting for answers and praying for better health.

Amanda’s Health Scare Explained

She Was Admitted To The Hospital For Three Days

Amanda recently posted an Instagram video that concerned fans. The clip is filmed in a hospital room, and Amanda explains she is in the hospital for three days. The 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star was recovering from a respiratory illness when, one night, she blacked out suddenly. It must have been a terrifying experience. The video was filmed at the hospital with Amanda attached to several medical monitors. She seemed genuinely shaken by the incident.

Amanda’s boyfriend and children pressured her into going to the emergency room, where they decided to admit her for three full days. “I am finally home after a three-stay I the hospital,” wrote the 1000-lb Sisters star. “For now we wait for a diagnosis and treatment plan.” The 1000-lb Sisters star made the best of it by urging her Instagram followers to stay up to date on their doctor visits. Amanda is unlikely to make that mistake ever again.

“Just a few more days of wearing this monitor but I am feeling more like myself everyday!”

Amanda’s been in hospitals a lot lately. In addition to her two bariatric surgeries, she also had knee surgery during 1000-lb Sisters season 6. She spent most of the season laid up on her back in recovery. Being unable to move around made it hard for her to lose weight, so she only lost 31 pounds after her second bariatric surgery. This was in stark contrast to the incredible results she experienced after her first surgery. In January, Amanda posted Instagram photos before and after that 2017 surgery.

Amanda’s Been Wearing A Heart Monitor

Waiting For Answers

After Amanda’s three-day hospital stay, they sent her home to await a diagnosis. They’d run tests on her for three days, but they needed more data about her health. Amanda recently updated fans on Instagram and showed off her heart monitor. Clearly, her doctors didn’t have answers yet, so they needed more information. The only thing scarier than being sick must be not knowing why. Her caption reads, “Just a few more days of wearing this monitor but I am feeling more like myself everyday!” Amanda has finally learned that health matters more than anything.

“Praying For An Episode-Free Day”

Amanda’s Scary Comment Raises Questions

Amanda recently posted a concerning message on Instagram. “Feeling grateful to be having a good day and well enough to let my hair down,” Amanda wrote. “Praying for an episode-free day and sending love to everyone who’s been supporting me.” It’s unclear what kind of episode Amanda was referring to. It could mean she had more instances of blacking out, but it could mean lots of other things. Amanda has a lot going for her, but she has to remember that health is wealth. The 1000-lb Sisters star has to take good care of herself.
