Tammy Slaton's incredible weight loss journey

In an exclusive interview with People Magazine on June 7, 2023, Tammy Slaton revealed that she had a wake-up call about her weight when she experienced a near-death experience before her bariatric surgery in 2022, which saw her placed in a medically induced coma after she stopped breathing.

“I wised up and got my surgery. I was able to make my lungs strong enough to get my trach [tracheostomy tube for breathing] out, and then recently the doctor cleared me to be off my oxygen machine during the daytime," she said.

The reality TV star weighed over 717lbs and dropped to 534lbs for her surgery. She currently weighs around 285 lbs, her lowest weight since she was a teenager.

Tammy showed off her slimmer physique in a series of pictures with Haley Michelle, including one of the pair in a swimming pool that the latter had captioned with "Proud of you."
