Famous for her role in “1000-Lb. Sisters,” Tammy Slaton has undergone a dramatic change. She shed 440 pounds and showed off her new physique in a dark blue bikini with her friend, psychic medium Haley Michelle.
Tammy has battled weight her entire life, but recent successes have given her more flexibility and movement. The ability to walk independently without the use of a wheelchair or walker, without oxygen. I don’t even sleep with it at night anymore,” Tammy said, emphasizing how her life had improved.
Even with the overwhelming support, some responses were negative, with remarks that ranged from eerie to spooky. Nonetheless, Tammy continues to prioritize her health, as demonstrated by her notable weight loss following bariatric surgery in July 2022, which reduced her weight from 725 to 285 pounds.
Tammy’s story is an inspiration as well as a personal triumph. By sharing our experiences, we’re encouraging others to realize that they, too, can lose weight. “They’re not alone,” she said, highlighting the significance of her continued efforts and widespread exposure.
Her non-scale successes were commended by Dr. Eric Smith of the Kentucky Bariatric Institute, who said, “I’m most proud about is the goals that she’s achieving of actually living a healthier and happier life.”
