Fans of 1000-Lb. Sisters have witnessed Tammy Slaton’s remarkable transformation over the past five years. Starting at over 700 pounds, Tammy’s weight loss journey has been tough but inspiring. She faced food addiction, mobility issues, and the loss of her husband, yet kept fighting.
Her journey included bariatric surgery in July 2022, after which her weight dropped significantly. By the show’s seventh season, she weighed 238 pounds and looked noticeably smaller than her sister Amy. Tammy revealed that she feels like she has shed “three whole versions” of herself.
In early 2025, she underwent skin removal surgery, which she admitted made her more nervous than the weight loss surgery. The procedure took away heavy folds of excess skin, making her feel more like herself.
Returning home early from the hospital, Tammy was greeted with praise from family and fans. Her honesty about struggles and victories has won her widespread admiration and remains a powerful story about strength and resilience.
