Sisters Tammy Slaton and Amy Slaton struggled with being overweight all through their lives. Having decided to get in shape Tammy Slaton joined the weight loss rehab facility. However, the first day at the center didn’t go as planned.

Tammy wasn’t breathing and was put on a ventilator and spent a few days in a medically induced coma. Now, the 36-year-old has come a long way in her weight loss journey as she had reduced several pounds to undergo bariatric surgery. After the procedure, she is even happier about her better condition.

Tammy Slaton is thankful for being alive

The 1000-lb Sisters star after the life-threatening event improved herself physically and is proud of her transformation. She was inserted with a tracheostomy tube for facilitating breathing after she woke up from the coma. And now after the surgery, she lost more weight and improved her lungs. In a recent post, she was seen posing without the oxygen tube.

 “I’m feeling great! I’m thankful to be alive, and it’s fun to be progressing as much as I am,” she told People. The television series 1000-Lb Sisters documented Tammy’s journey unfiltered. Fans could clearly see her progress in the show. 

Though getting on to the scale was the most disliked thing to do for Tammy, the measurement on the scale once surprised her. In one episode of the show, the television star overdid her weight loss goal by dropping to 550 lbs when the target was 717 lbs. “When I got on the scale and I saw the scale was at 534.7, I kinda stopped breathing for a second,” she exclaimed in the episode that streamed on Feb. 7. There are many such inspiring weight loss transformations on the internet.
