1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton's new shrinking body on full display in shocking home video after 500lb loss
Tammy Slaton left fans stunned yet again—less than 24 hours after they did a double take over her jaw-dropping weight loss transformation. The 38-year-old 1000-Lb. Sisters star, who underwent bariatric surgery in 2022 followed by extensive skin removal procedures, gave a closer look at her shrinking frame in a brand new TikTok video on Wednesday. Lip-syncing and dancing to a viral meme about self-worth, Tammy showcased dramatically slimmed-down figure in a bright pink tee tucked into blue jeans. Fans were blown away by the full-body view of the TLC star, whose smooth moves showcased her 500-pound weight loss and freedom from the wheelchair and oxygen tank she once needed. 'Girl— you keep living your best life!! So happy for you and proud of you!!' one fan gushed, as another added, 'TAMMY!!! Such a queen!' Tammy captioned the video with a powerful affirmation: 'Forget about depression. Forget about stressing out and start counting your blessings you're amazing the way you are never forget that.' She was also adorably self-deprecating, admitting, 'I absolutely love this song and I know I can't dance — I'm just trying to have fun.' The TikTok comes just days after Tammy gave fans a full-body glimpse of her transformation by posting a photo of herself in a form-fitting black shapewear one-piece. With her hands behind her back and a subtle smile, Tammy looked like a completely different person — and fans couldn't believe their eyes. Captioned 'I knew the assignment,' the post made it clear she's not only owning her transformation, but thriving in it. 'Absolutely loving this era of Tammy,' one fan gushed, while another wrote, 'Brought a tear to my eye. It's been honestly so inspiring and amazing to watch your journey.' Tammy's weight loss journey has been front and center on 1000-Lb. Sisters, and in April, she shared her proudest milestone yet: a loss of 500 pounds. 'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700-plus pounds,' she shared on the TLC series. 'Right now, I'm weighing in at 238.' Tammy even compared her progress to that of her sister, 37-year-old Amy Slaton, who's lost 176 pounds. 'Everyone is telling me I look smaller than Amy,' she said. 'That's kind of hard to believe. I can't believe I did that.' Following her massive weight loss, Tammy revealed in June that she had finally gone under the knife for long-awaited skin removal surgery earlier this year. 'I was just overwhelmed with excitement,' she told People, recalling the moment she was approved. 'I worked really hard for this, and now it's here. I'm pretty sure it was noticeable on my face how immediately shocked and then overwhelmed with joy I was.' Tammy spent over a year—14 months total—at Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Gibsonburg, Ohio, where she dropped more than 400 pounds thanks to intensive treatment and bariatric surgery. It was during her time there that she met Caleb Willingham, who would become her husband. Known affectionately as 'Double K,' Caleb joined Tammy on 1000-Lb. Sisters as the pair worked side by side to tackle their struggles with obesity. They eventually exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony with roughly 30 attendees, with their home care nurse stepping in to officiate. Sadly, their newlywed bliss was short-lived. Caleb passed away just months later at the age of 40 and a cause of death was never publicly disclosed. Tammy had previously addressed the state of their relationship before his death during an earlier season of the show, revealing that things had shifted between them. She said they had begun to 'feel like roommates.'

Tammy Slaton had fans doing a double take after unveiling her jaw-dropping weight loss transformation. The 38-year-old 1000-Lb.

Looking like a fraction of her former self, she posed with her hands behind her back and a subtle smile, leaving fans stunned by her progress. 'Absolutely loving this era of Tammy,' one fan gushed in the comments, while another added, 'Brought a tear to my eye. It's been honestly so inspiring and amazing to watch your journey.'

'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700-plus pounds,' she shared on the TLC series. 'Right now, I'm weighing in at 238.' Tammy even compared her progress to that of her sister, 37-year-old Amy Slaton, who's lost 176 pounds. 'Everyone is telling me I look smaller than Amy,' she said. 'That's kind of hard to believe. I can't believe I did that.' After hitting her milestone, Tammy revealed in June that she finally underwent skin removal surgery earlier this year.

1000-Lb. Sisters star Tammy Slaton is unrecognizable in new photos after 500-pound weight loss
1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has shocked her followers after revealing a series of images from after her skin-removal surgery following her 500-pound weight loss. On Sunday, the reality television star turned to TikTok to show up-to-date selfies, including one of her wearing black shapewear. In the comments, fans expressed how proud they were of Slaton for all of the progress she's made throughout the seven seasons of her TLC show. Slaton has been open about her health journey over the years, especially since her 2022 bariatric surgery, designed to help people lose weight by altering the digestive system. During the April 2025 season premiere of 1000-lb Sisters, she revealed that she was 'down 500 pounds.' 'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700-plus pounds. Right now, I'm weighing in at 238,' she said. Following her bariatric surgery, she underwent skin removal surgery, where over 15 pounds of excess skin were removed from her chin, arms, and lower stomach earlier this year. 'I was really nervous for the skin removal surgery because I was really just kind of afraid of how I'm gonna feel looking at myself without the belly there,' she revealed in an interview with People last month about the milestone. 'The night before my surgery, I was, like, seriously freaking terrified. I was even more nervous about having skin removal surgery than I was for the [sleeve gastrectomy] surgery because they're actually cutting the whole belly!' Fans have been incredibly supportive of Slaton, applauding her journey in the comments section of her recent TikTok. 'Love that you've been so dedicated and successful with your weight loss journey. Tammy, love, you DON'T need the filter. You have NOTHING to hide, and you're NOT a cartoon,' one person commented on the TikTok, while another commenter agreed, writing, 'Brought a tear to my eye. It's been honestly so inspiring and amazing to watch your journey. Never been more prouder of a stranger in my life! Well done Tammy.' 'I love your show soo much, i have been watching since day 1 and its soo incredible to see how far you have come. Keep slaying queen,' a third commenter gushed over the photos. The new photos mark the latest milestone for Slaton, who announced her engagement to her girlfriend, Andrea Dalton, during a June episode of the Creative Chaos podcast. During the conversation, Slaton referred to Dalton as her 'fiancée,' prompting podcast host Hunter Ezell to ask if she was engaged. 'Me and my fiancée we kind of just chill at home,' Slaton said, when asked what she did for fun. Ezell interjected: 'Hold on, you said fiancée?' He then pointed out that Slaton was wearing a 'little necklace' with Dalton's first name. Slaton continued to describe her relationship, adding: 'We go to Walmart and just walk around… Don't like to buy, just walk around.' The reality star then showed off her diamond ring to confirm the engagement after Ezell said that she was 'lighting up' when she was talking about her fiancée. 1000-lb Sisters, which chronicles the lives of Tammy and her sister Amy as they attempt to lose weight, wrapped its seventh season last month. Before they became reality stars, Amy and Tammy posted vlogs and product reviews on YouTube, where they gained a dedicated following. Amy still uploads videos on YouTube, though much less frequently.
