Followers of 1000-lb Sisters are confused as to why Tammy Slaton still lives in the Ohio rehab facility after undergoing her weight loss surgery, but there's a good reason. Tammy first checked in after season 3 showed her near-death experience following her lung collapse. Over the last several months, she's begun to heal but still claims a bed in the facility.
A source close to Tammy and the Slaton family recently revealed why the 1000-lb Sisters star chose to stay in rehab, telling The Sun that her procedure went well with "few complications." While the insider described the process as a bit scary, the decision was made to have Tammy return to the health center so that the doctors could monitor her progress. The insider shared that the nurses were making sure Tammy stuck with her diet and that her body wouldn't reject her new medications. After the first two weeks, Tammy chose to stay in the rehab center.
