Tammy Slaton, star of “1000-lb Sisters,” faced severe depression and suicidal thoughts before beginning her weight loss journey, inspiring many with her perseverance. In mid-2022, after undergoing bariatric surgery, she continued to share her progress.

In January 2022, she faced a life-threatening health scare, was placed in a medically induced coma, and later received a tracheotomy. Reflecting on her past, Tammy admitted, “Before I was in rehab, I was bitter, unhappy, very super suicidal, depressed, and just mean.”

Despite online criticism, Tammy has made incredible progress, shedding over 500 pounds by August 2024. “I can finally say I’m living life,” she said proudly. She continues to inspire fans, even as she mourned the loss of her husband, Caleb Willingham, in 2023.

Tammy remains resilient, focusing on her personal growth and spreading positivity. “Tammy, you’ve come so far physically and mentally. You are a beautiful soul,” one fan commented. Her transformation stands as a testament to her strength and determination.
