Tammy Slaton, known for her role on TLC’s 1000-Lb. Sisters, has amazed fans with an incredible weight loss of over 500 pounds. Since starting her journey on the show in 2020 alongside her sister Amy, Tammy has openly shared her struggles and successes.
At her heaviest, Tammy weighed 725 pounds and relied on a walker, wheelchair, and oxygen tube to get around. Initially aiming to shed 30 pounds, her journey grew more difficult during the pandemic when she gained extra weight. Battling food addiction, she faced multiple stints in rehab.
Despite these obstacles and personal heartbreak, including the loss of her husband Caleb in 2023, Tammy persevered. She was approved for bariatric surgery in July 2022 and underwent the procedure, marking a turning point in her transformation.
By season seven of 1000-Lb. Sisters, she revealed she now weighed 238 pounds, surprising many with her remarkable progress. Tammy described her transformation as shedding “three whole versions” of herself and expressed awe at seeing old photos.
Recently, Tammy faced another challenge: skin removal surgery. Feeling more nervous than before her bariatric surgery, she bravely underwent the procedure in January 2025, removing over 15 pounds of excess skin. She recovered quickly and returned home ahead of schedule.
Support poured in from fans and family, who praised her openness and determination. Tammy’s journey continues to inspire those following her story, showcasing strength, resilience, and hope.
