Tammy Slaton from 1000-Lb. Sisters have changed a lot. She used to weigh 725 pounds, but has now lost over 500 pounds and had skin removal surgery.
In 2020, Tammy and her sister Amy joined the show, and together they tipped the scales at over 1,000 pounds – 608 pounds for Tammy and 406 pounds for Amy. From the start, they spoke openly about their struggles with food addiction, health problems, and emotional eating.
She tried rehab, diets, and working with doctors, but she found it hard to stick to it.
Tammy has been honest about her childhood, when she didn’t have much access to healthy foods.
In 2021, after leaving rehab early and losing 60 lbs. (27 kg) instead of her 100-lb. (45-kg) goal, Tammy’s health took a turn for the worse. She was taken to the hospital, put on a ventilator, and put into a coma. She had put on 150 lbs. Doctors thought she wouldn’t survive, but she did.
She went to a weight-loss centre in Ohio and lost 180 pounds, reaching a weight of 534 pounds. This was just enough to qualify for bariatric surgery. Tammy had the operation in the summer of 2022. She then spent over a year at the clinic recovering.
Sisters Season 7 will be shown for the first time in April 2025, and Tammy shared an amazing update: “When I was at my heaviest, I was over 700 lbs. I currently weigh 238 pounds.
Fans were shocked that it was the same Tammy.
Slaton reached a significant moment in her weight loss journey when she had surgery to remove skin.
The eight-hour operation, which removed more than 15 pounds of skin from her chin, arms, and lower stomach, was a significant achievement for her. Tammy’s new life: seatbelts, swimsuits, and a “whole new world”.
Tammy has changed a lot, and not just because she has lost weight. She explained that the small things that she has achieved now feel the most meaningful. “One of the big changes that I have gone through this past year is probably small to most people,” she said. “But for me, it was a big deal.”
She can now sit in the front seat of a car, walk without a walker, and sleep without oxygen.
Tammy Slaton’s journey shows that true transformation takes time. It took years of hard work, pain, and even a near-death experience to turn her life around. But she did it, and now she’s not just surviving, she’s truly living.
