1000 Pound Sisters star Tammy Slaton discovered when can she remove the extra skin after your 500 pounds plus weight loss. Tammy and her sister Amy Slaton used the reality show to document the ups and downs of their weight loss journeys as they underwent bariatric surgery and adopted healthier lifestyles. Tammy weighed over 600 pounds when she made her debut in 2020. From being stuck inside her house to visiting new countries, losing weight has brought a lot of changes to Tammy’s life. However, Tammy remains unhappy with her weight loss due to one reason.
Tammy Slaton has lost a lot of weight but is still not satisfied with her appearance because of all her extra skin.
However, a clip of 1000 Pound Sisters posted by TLC shows that Tammy has reached a major hurdle in her weight loss journey. Impressed with Tammy weighing 303 pounds, her doctor, Dr. Eric Smith, asks her to see a surgeon for skin removal. However, Dr. Brad Turner feels that Tammy was not a candidate for skin removal surgery because it had only been 13 or 14 months since Tammy underwent weight loss surgery. The doctor advised Tammy to continue to lose weight over the next six months to a year to reach her goal weight and then revisit the issue.
What Tammy Slaton’s Disappointing News Means for Her Weight Loss Journey
Tammy is one step closer to achieving the body of her dreams
Tammy often receives comments about the loose skin on her chin as fans ask her to eliminate it to reveal a sharp, shapely jawline. However, Tammy also needs the loose skin on the rest of her body removed so she can finally show off her new slim figure. However, it appears Tammy has more weight to lose before she even qualifies for the operation. The procedure itself is risky. Tammy agreed to risk her life to get rid of her excess loose skin.
Tammy expressed jealousy over how her sister Amy didn’t have to remove any of her skin after losing weight. Amy, who also had bariatric surgery, simply shrank as she lost weight. Amy did not need any remodeling of her body, as her skin and tissues did not undergo any stretching. On the other hand, the stretched skin has lost elasticity and cannot adjust to Tammy’s slender body. Tammy will have to commit to a healthy lifestyle longer so she can keep off the lost pounds and lose more weight while she waits.
