Tammy Slaton, a prominent figure from the reality series 1000-Lb. Sisters, has unveiled an impressive transformation, having lost 440 pounds and showcasing her new appearance in a dark blue swimsuit alongside her friend and psychic medium, Haley Michelle.

After facing weight challenges for the majority of her life, Tammy now embraces a sense of independence and enhanced mobility. “I can walk without the assistance of a walker or wheelchair, and I no longer require oxygen—even during sleep,” she remarked, reflecting on the significant improvements in her quality of life.

While she has received a considerable amount of positive support, some reactions have been negative, featuring unsettling and inappropriate remarks. Nevertheless, Tammy remains committed to her health journey. Following her bariatric surgery in July 2022, she successfully reduced her weight from 725 to 285 pounds, demonstrating her unwavering determination.

Tammy perceives her journey as a source of inspiration. “By sharing our experiences, we help others understand that they too can achieve weight loss. They are not alone,” she stated, emphasizing the wider influence of her public narrative.

Dr. Eric Smith from the Kentucky Bariatric Institute praised her accomplishments beyond mere weight loss, stating, “What I take the most pride in are the goals she is achieving—leading a healthier and happier life.”
