Tammy Slaton needs to understand the show is not called '1000-lb Tantrums'
'1000-lb Sisters' star Tammy Slaton has recently achieved a major milestone. In a preview of the upcoming episode, the TLC show star is overjoyed after stepping on the scale and seeing her weight drop from 303 lbs to 281.2 lbs. Tammy claimed she hasn't weighed around 280 lbs since the 4th grade. However, another preview revealed that she still wasn't approved for the skin removal surgery despite hitting her lowest weight.
The surgeon explained that Tammy wouldn't be eligible for skin removal surgery yet, as she had undergone weight loss surgery just over a year ago. Typically, two surgeries require a significant gap of at least a year between them. She was suggested to continue losing weight for the next year to achieve her goals, after which the surgeons could revisit the topic of skin removal surgery. Tammy was left disappointed with the surgeon's revelation and rejected the surgeon's request for the examination. She began throwing tantrums over the setback, disregarding the major milestone she had just achieved. She should focus on the positive aspect of her weight loss journey, rather than dwelling on the negativity.
