Tammy Slaton started her journey on 1000-Lb Sisters weighing over 600 pounds, and now weighs less than half of that. When she joined the show in 2020 with her sister, Amy Slaton, she had hoped to lose enough weight naturally to undergo weight-loss surgery. However, Tammy’s path to better health was filled with obstacles and heartbreaks.
While Amy quickly lost weight and was approved for weight-loss surgery, Tammy struggled for three seasons to overcome her unhealthy eating habits. At one point, she lost focus and started partying with her friends, consuming junk food and alcohol.
Tammy Once Surpassed 700 Pounds
Tammy Weighed 238 Pounds After Losing Weight
Tammy began her fitness journey at 605 pounds, but as the show went on, she gained nearly 100 pounds, ultimately reaching over 700 pounds. She was accused of not focusing on her weight loss and was criticized for making excuses for not working hard enough to achieve her weight-loss goals.
Season after season, Tammy continued to disappoint her doctor and family members due to her lack of progress. At that point, she had a major wake-up call when she had a life-threatening health scare that put her in a coma. Following the scare, Tammy decided to change her lifestyle and enrolled in a rehab center, where she ultimately lost 166 pounds.
Tammy weighed 534 pounds when she underwent weight-loss surgery in 1000-Lb Sisters season 4. Following the surgery, she lost a substantial amount of weight over the next three years. Tammy officially unveiled her brand-new look in 1000-Lb Sisters season 7, revealing that she had now lost 500 pounds, bringing her weight to 238 pounds.
Tammy was shocked to realize that she had become smaller than her sister, Amy, who had begun her fitness journey earlier. When asked by the show’s producers about her feelings regarding her impressive weight-loss transformation, Tammy giggled and mentioned feeling “so demure, so mindful, so cutesy.” Despite the challenges of excess skin, Tammy appeared genuinely proud of her weight loss achievement.
Tammy Underwent 15-Pound Skin Removal Surgery
Tammy Removed Excess Skin From Her Arms, Chin, & Stomach
Although Tammy was excited about the next chapter of her life after losing weight, she soon found herself dealing with another issue: her excess skin. She couldn’t fully appreciate her weight-loss accomplishments because she was constantly bothered by loose skin around her chin, arms, stomach, and legs. Unfortunately, Tammy was self-conscious about her appearance after losing weight.
Tammy didn’t take online bullying lightly and stood up to her critics at every opportunity she had. She posted various videos on TikTok, criticizing those who made fun of her excess skin under her chin. Tammy mentioned that she was already insecure about her physical appearance, and those rude comments didn’t help.
Tammy wanted to have skin removal surgery soon after losing 500 pounds. However, her doctors advised her first to quit vaping, a bad habit that could impede her recovery process after the procedure. Tammy was also instructed to consume more nutrients for at least two months before rescheduling the surgery.
The day finally came for Tammy to have skin removal surgery, during which 15 pounds of excess skin was removed from her chin, arms, and lower stomach.
The plastic surgeon revealed that 12 medical personnel worked on Tammy during her procedure, making it a particularly complex case. Tammy’s reaction following the skin removal surgery was captured in 1000-Lb Sisters season 7.
How Does Tammy Look In 2025 After Skin Removal
The plastic surgeon said that they had requested Tammy’s childhood pictures to determine her original jawline, but they were unable to find anywhere it was visible. Therefore, they utilized their expertise to create a new jawline for her. After the procedure, Tammy was given a mirror to evaluate her face once the bandage was removed.
Despite still being swollen, Tammy smiled when she saw the results. During a confessional, she expressed feelings of “shocked” and “weird.” Tammy also mentioned, “My bat wings are gone and I look down and there’s nothing there but my lap now.”
The result of Tammy’s skin removal surgery wowed both her family members and viewers of 1000-Lb Sisters. On the occasion of her new girlfriend, Andrea Dalton’s birthday, she recently posted a video on TikTok, revealing her newly contoured face. Tammy posted a video montage of pictures featuring her sleek oval face with a sharp jawline and no loose skin under her chin.
Tammy’s fans were stunned by the dramatic transformation in her appearance, with one person commenting, “Tammy is the success story no one thought would happen! She look absolutely amazing.” There were also comments comparing Tammy’s new look to her sister, Amanda Halterman. One TikTok user also praised the surgeon responsible for Tammy’s skin removal surgery.
Tammy’s Updated Weight In 2025
Tammy Weighs Between 185–190 Pounds
Tammy began her weight-loss journey in 2020. She, along with her sister, Amy, visited a junkyard in Kentucky to weigh themselves. The trip turned disappointing, as Amy cried when she saw her weight of 406 pounds. When Tammy stepped on the scale, it showed 605 pounds.
Despite feeling discouraged by their weight, the Slaton sisters were determined to start their weight-loss journeys. Five years later, in an episode of 1000-Lb Sisters season 7, Tammy and Amy returned to the same junkyard to see their updated weight after successfully losing a significant amount.
Amy weighed 249 pounds, while Tammy’s weight was later revealed to be nearly 200 pounds after losing 500 pounds. Following skin removal surgery, Tammy shed another 15 pounds of loose skin, bringing her current weight to approximately 185–190 pounds.
However, Tammy’s weight-loss transformation is ongoing, with skin removal surgery on her legs still pending. The 1000-Lb Sisters cast member is expected to continue shedding more weight as she sticks to her fitness regimen and healthy diet.
