Tammy Slaton weighed 725 pounds at her heaviest, but she has made incredible progress\n

Fans of Tammy Slaton, 1000-Lb Sisters star, have been \u2018blown away\u2019 after the reality TV star revealed she\u2019d hit a staggering weight loss milestone.\n

Tammy became famous on TLC\u2019s 1000-Lb Sisters, which documented her and her sister Amy\u2019s attempts to lose weight.\n

Tammy weighed 725 pounds at her heaviest. She relied on a walker and wheelchair to get around, and needed help from an oxygen tube to breathe.\n

Her mental health also took a beating, with her sharing on TikTok back in February.\n

Her weight loss journey has often been challenging. She\u2019s done multiple stints in rehab for food addiction, on one occasion weighing 15 pounds more than when she went in.\n

In 2023, she also had to deal with the heartbreaking loss of her husband Caleb Willingham, who passed away aged 40 in July 2023.\n

Throughout all this, Tammy has persevered, and eventually lost enough weight to qualify for bariatric surgery to help her shed the pounds.\n

In October 15 episode of 1,000-Lb Sisters, we see Tammy attending a weigh-in with her bariatric surgeon Dr Eric Smith.\n

\u201cThe last time I saw Dr. Smith was about nine months ago and I was around 420 lbs. He told me I had to lose 100 lbs. before my next appointment. I\u2019m extremely nervous.\u201d, she told viewers.\n

Well, she needn\u2019t have been. It turns out Tammy weighs less than half what she did at her heaviest, tipping the scales at 303.8 lbs \u2013 which we can all agree is an incredible achievement.\n

Dr Smith called Tammy\u2019s progress \u2018unbelievable\u2019, telling People: \u201cTammy has consistently demonstrated her dedication to making sustainable lifestyle changes to maximize the benefits of her surgery.\n

He added that the next step for Tammy is skin removal surgery, which he\u2019s looking to get sorted \u2018sooner rather than later\u2019 due to the impact her loose skin is having on her quality of life.\n
