star Tammy Slaton celebrates her 38th birthday on Saturday. At one point was over 700 pounds, but since starting her weight loss journey she has shed over half of her body size. It wasn’t until 2022 when the personality had a huge health scare that put her in the hospital.

After survived nearly dying, and having to be put in a medically induced coma, she chose to turn her life around and gain victory over food addiction. Now that her life was in jeopardy she buckled down and took losing weight seriously, going to rehab amid her body transformation saga. Post-weight loss surgery, Tammy has so far dropped 400 pounds.

The reality personality struggled both physically and mentally before she dropped the pounds. Due to her weight, Tammy was unable to leave her house so she was living like she was imprisoned. Tammy wasn’t able to live life or hang with her friends and family.

Years before she could hardly walk, or even travel because of her size. What she was able to do was limited, which meant she was often stuck inside. Since her weight loss, her whole life has been altered.

Tammy appears to desire to have a more active lifestyle, wanting to get the most out of a world she at first couldn’t fully access. Following her release from rehab she’s been living it up, doing activities such as enjoying a nice boat ride with her family, which was covered on Season 5 of 1000-lb Sisters. Along with going on a boat ride, Tammy was also able to get on an airplane for the first time in.
