Summary
1000-lb SistersstarTammy Slatonhas been experimenting with fashion since losing an incredible 440 pounds, but not all of her outfits are winners. When Tammy made her television debut in 2020, she weighed over 600 pounds. Though her doctors and her family begged her to lose weight, she seemed to weigh more every time she stepped on a scale. By season 3, Tammy weighed 720 pounds. At that size, it was difficult to even leave the house, and she was basically a prisoner of her own body.
Despite her diminished quality of life, Tammy didn’t commit to her weight-loss journey until a health scare landed her in the hospital. When she woke from her week-long coma, Tammy realized that she would die if she didn’t lose a significant amount of weight quickly. After treating her food addiction,Tammy had bariatric surgery and dropped to 285 pounds. Since slimming down, the1000-lb Sistersseason 5star has been thrilled to experiment with fashion that was once out of reach. Though most of Tammy’s fashion choices are hits, she has had some rare misses.

Tammy Slaton’s Top Is A Little Too Loud
Too Many Elements
37-year-old Tammy has always enjoyed wearing bright colors. Before she lost weight, it was difficult to find fashion-forward clothing that could accommodate her size. AfterTammy went from size 8XL to 2XL, awhole new world of fashion opportunities opened up for the1000-lb Sistersstar.

And A Bedazzled Shirt

Tammy Slaton Wore A Teddy Bear Print
Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A Bear

The sweater does nothing for Tammy, adding bulk, and making her look heavier than she is.
