Tammy, who weighed 725 pounds when she was at her heaviest, shot to fame on TLC’s1000-lb Sisters. The show documented her weight-loss journey alongside her sister, Amy Slaton, 36.
Fans have not only seen the physical and emotional challenges of their journey, but they also saw Tammy experience several health scares over the years. She underwent bariatricsurgeryin 2022.
“I wised up and got my surgery,” Tammy said in an update she gavePeoplelast June.
“I was able to make my lungs strong enough to get my trach [tracheostomy tube for breathing] out, and then recently the doctor cleared me to be off my oxygen machine during the daytime,” she said at the time.
The older Slaton sister was able to forgo being hooked to an oxygen tube and can now walk on her own without the help of a walker.

She revealed that it was the little things, like walking on her own or being able to sit in a regular car’s front seat, that she most appreciated.
“One of the big changes that I have gone through this past year is probably small to most people,” she toldPeoplein December 2023. “But for me it was huge.”
“Just being able to walk without a walker or be pushed in a wheelchair, and no oxygen. I don’t even sleep with it at night anymore,” she went on to say. “Then it was being able to fit in a regular vehicle, front seat, and then the belt buckle, and not have to use an extender now. So I mean, just what seems minor to some people is giant for me.”
Her bariatric surgeon, Dr. Eric Smith, agreed that these little things are big accomplishments for his patient.

“I remember the first time I got a picture that she sent me of her riding the front seat in a car with a seatbelt, things that we may take for granted,” he told the outlet at the time. “That was a huge accomplishment for her when she used to be coming to my office in the back of aminivanwith the seats removed because that was the only way that they could transport her.”
For the transformation queen, one of the biggest rewards from her journey is the progress she made with hermental health.
The weight-loss warrior spoke about how her transformation has completely changed her life and improved her mental health significantly
Reflecting on the profound change, she said she was “bitter” and even “suicidal” before her weight loss.
“Before I went to rehab, I was just bitter, unhappy, very super suicidal depressed,” she wasquotedsaying. “I personally have seen a lot of growth within myself and how I treat people and my family. And just my attitude and how happier I seem. I smile a lot more.”
“I actually got on rides [atDisney World.] And I rode in a hot air balloon,” she added. “I value life now, where before I hated it. I hated everything about life.”
