‘1000-lb Sisters’ Tammy Slaton SHOCKED as She Surpassed Dr. Smith’s Weight Loss Goal
Tammy Slaton has been on a journey to lose weight for many years. She started at a weight of 725lbs. Slaton recently revealed that she has made major progress in her journey to being healthier. Tammy flaunted her slimmer frame and boasted about the massive loss that she had accomplished.
Massive Losses
1000 Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has been on a journey to lose weight for a while. Her starting weight was 725 Lb. She has steadily been making progress towards a healthier self. She had bariatric surgery in July 2022 to help her achieve her goals. In a recent preview for 1000 Lb. Sisters, it was revealed that Ms. Slaton is exceeding the expectations of her medical team.
Tammy Slaton revealed that she has been working with Dr. Eric Smith on her weight loss journey. Tammy said “At my rock bottom, I was weighing about 725 pounds,” she continued to explain that “The last time I saw Dr. Smith was about nine months ago and I was around 420 pounds. He told me I had to lose 100 pounds before my next appointment. I’m extremely nervous.” So how did Tammy do with her weight loss?
Ms. Slaton was joined at her the appointment by her sister and costar Amy Slaton. Tammy steps on the scale and it is revealed that her current weight is 303.8. Dr. Smith told Slaton that her progress was “Unbelievable!” Tammy appeared to be shocked by the results. She said, “I surpassed Dr. Smith’s goal, my goal, all the goals!” Dr. Smith told Tammy that he was proud of her.
Tammy Slaton’s Dr., Eric Smith is satisfied with her progress. He said “Tammy has consistently demonstrated her dedication to making sustainable lifestyle changes to maximize the benefits of her surgery,” he continued “I’ve emphasized the importance of making small, daily adjustments to ensure not only her continued progress but also her long-term success. She’s truly committed to her health journey.” It sounds like her hard work is paying off.
The next step for Tammy Slaton is to have skin removal surgery. Dr. Smith usually waits until patients are further along in the process to sign off on skin removal surgery. However, he said that he understands that in Tammy’s case, her extra skin has created mobility concerns.
Dr. Smith explained Tammy has “a significant amount of loose skin that’s affecting her mobility and contributing to other health concerns.” He continued “Given this, it makes sense to consider surgery sooner rather than later, even though she will continue to lose weight in the future.” It seems that her medical team has Tammy’s best interest at heart when making treatment plans.
Mental Health Struggles
Tammy Slaton has been very vocal about the impact of her weight loss journey on her mental health. In a candid Instagram post Ms. Slaton said “The Mental Battle is Real, the mental aspect plays a significant role. Being depressed and having a food addiction, I often ate my feelings, taking out my emotions on food.” Slaton is not alone on her journey because she has her sister Amy Slaton.
Ms. Slaton has shared with her fans that “It’s not just about food—it’s about dealing with the deeper emotional challenges we face. Healing starts from the inside, and I’m here to share my journey to show that you are never alone in this fight.” In July 2024 Tammy lost her husband and she has had to focus on healing not only her body but her heart.
