Twin sisters Tammy and Amy Slaton’s weight reduction struggles are chronicled in the reality TV series 1000-lb Sisters.
Tammy, who started the series at a weight of over 725 pounds (51.8 stone), needed an oxygen mask and help walking.
However, viewers were more astonished by her transformation as the program progressed, and she has now taken to Instagram to flaunt her dramatic weight reduction.
Fans have gushed about Tammy Slaton’s remarkable makeover. Author: TLC A fan’s reaction to the photo on Twitter read: “Tammy looks so good.”
“You look amazing, girl!” says someone else. Wow, what a journey! Another person says, “You look amazing, Tammy. I’m so proud of you.”
Still another one writes: “Holy cow! What a remarkable change! I may have shed a few tears seeing how much progress you’ve made.
“I know that Tammy must be so proud of herself,” writes one of the five who congratulate the reality star. Despite everyone writing her off, she persisted and eventually succeeded. Wow, you did it!
Now Tammy Slaton doesn’t need a walker or wheelchair to go about. Author: TLC Tammy, who went from 440 pounds (31.4 stone) to 285 pounds
(20.6 stone) following her weight reduction adventure, recently spoke to People about how it has changed her life.
“One of the major changes I’ve experienced in the last year is likely to seem insignificant to the majority of people,” she informed the news source.
I thought it was big, however. Simply being able to move about without assistance, such as a walker or wheelchair, and without the need for oxygen. No longer do I even consider it a nightly companion.
The next step was removing the need for an adapter so it could fit in a standard car’s front seat, and finally, the belt buckle. So, you know, what other people would consider little is huge to me.
According to Cleveland Clinic, in 2022, Tammy had gastric band surgery, which entails affixing a silicone band known as the Lap-Band around the patient’s stomach in order to decrease the patient’s stomach capacity and to delay the flow of food through the stomach.
During a TikTok Q&A, Tammy mentioned that she wants to learn to drive someday, but she knows it will take a while since she is still improving her life.
“Eventually, I do want to learn,” she said. However, my anxiety is now at an overwhelming level. So much happening. But start small.
Gastric band surgery was performed on Tammy Slaton. Author: TLC Even though Tammy’s life has changed for the better, she suffered a devastating loss last summer with the passing of her husband, Caleb Willingham.
They met in an Ohio rehabilitation center where they were both getting help for their weight. They tied the knot in November 2022, but their love affair didn’t last long, as they broke up shortly after.
The truth about Willingham’s demise has come to light: it was a natural death. Last year, Caleb Willingham—Tammy Slaton’s husband—passed away. Author: TLC
In addition to updating her followers on her progress, Tammy often posts motivational words to encourage those going through the same thing.
As the reality star flaunts her new look in a bikini, her devoted fan base watches in wonder.
She sits in a pool wearing a blue suit with mermaid prints, posing next to her friend Haley Michelle, who often shares photos of the two of them having fun together.
A comment reading “Proud of you #tammyslatonweightloss” accompanied the picture that Michelle posted on Instagram.
