Tammy Slaton’s Weightloss Journey
In the fourth season of 1000 Lb. Sisters, which just finished airing in March, Slaton is shown in treatment at an Ohio weight loss rehab center. In the show, Slaton got down to 534 lbs from 717 lbs and was able to qualify for weight loss surgery.
On the show, Slaton said, “When I got on the scale and I saw the scale was at 534.7, I kinda stopped breathing for a second. I’m like 14 lbs. under my goal weight. From over 700, that’s a huge drop. I’m feeling thrilled, proud, excited — just all the emotions. I proved everybody wrong. Everybody that doubted me, I finally got mine! My told-you-so moment!”
1000 Lb. Sisters Season 4 also featured Slaton leaving the rehab facility to undergo surgery and being greeted by her family, causing her to cry. While speaking about the emotional moment on the show, Slaton said, “They had a poster for me to read that everybody wrote a little something on there to celebrate me. I mean, b—s this is about me at the end of the day because I’m queen… I needed to know that they’re here for me. They love me. That’s one of the biggest things to help push me through to get to where I am now.”
