Tammy Slaton has marked a major milestone in her physical transformation journey and is proud of how far she has come.

TLC, which hosts the reality show “1000-Lb Sisters,” shared an Instagram clip capturing the moment Slaton weighed herself, revealing a number she hadn’t seen in years: 281.2 lbs. Slaton narrated, “The last time I was at Dr. Smith’s, I weighed in at 303.”

At one point, Slaton turned to her brother and asked, “How am I lighter than you?” Combs replied, “You’re supposed to be lighter than me.” Slaton humorously quipped in response, “Cause I’m short?”

Tammy Slaton has achieved significant milestones in her weight loss journey, but another Instagram clip revealed that her progress toward the next step, a skin removal surgery, has been temporarily delayed.

When asked about proceeding with additional checkups, her response mirrored her somber mood. “I just don’t wanna get undressed,” said the reality star, who had been eager to take the next step in her journey by addressing the excess skin.

Dr. Turner clarified that although Slaton has made impressive progress, she is still only 13 months post-bariatric surgery. Therefore, she requires additional time to reach her target weight before proceeding with skin removal surgery.

Despite some setbacks in her weight loss journey, Slaton has shed a significant amount of weight since her highest recorded weight of 725 pounds. Undergoing bariatric surgery in July 2022 marked a turning point, helping her achieve her current weight.

Reflecting on her progress, Slaton shared that even small victories have felt monumental to her. Being able to walk unaided, without relying on a walker or wheelchair, and no longer needing oxygen assistance, even while sleeping, have been transformative milestones in her life.

Now, her family and doctors are proud of her progress. Dr. Eric Smith, the medical director of the Kentucky Bariatric Institute, who has supported Slaton throughout her weight loss journey, expressed this pride.
