Since losing a significant amount of weight, 1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has changed her life, her wardrobe, and her hairdo. The unscripted show centers around the weight-loss journeys of 37-year-old Tammy and her 36-year-old sister, Amy Slaton. When the show premiered in 2020, Tammy weighed over 600 pounds. She could barely leave her house and was a prisoner trapped in her own body. Despite her diminished quality of life, Tammy continued to gain weight, and, by season three, she weighed as much as 720 pounds.
Everything changed when a health scare landed Tammy in the hospital and lit a fire under her to lose weight.

What's Next For Tammy Slaton
Will She Get Skin Removal Surgery?
Losing a significant amount of weight in a short time has left Tammy with a lot of loose, excess skin. In addition to keeping Tammy from looking her best, the skin is heavy and presents hygiene challenges, so it's understandable that Tammy would want to have it removed. Skin removal surgery is actually several surgeries, is extremely expensive, and comes with many risks. With 1000-lb Sisters season 6 on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Tammy pursues her skin removal surgery goals.
