Tammy Slaton’s conditions

In a recent TikTok, Slaton revealed what she had been going through.

“Around July of this year, I kind of had a mental breakdown and I lost myself literally super bad up until the end of August,” she said while coughing. “And then I took a break for September, which means I stopped filming for a month, and then in October, I filmed. Anyways, we are over with the season cause it’s on-air now but I ended up in the hospital because of carbon dioxide poisoning, which led to pneumonia and I was septic so yea, there’s that. I sound like this because after I got off of life support they put a trach in, so I’m trying to get used to that. I’m doing better day by day.”

Slaton said she’s set to continue healing in a rehab facility soon.

“Going to another nursing rehab to get my strength back and lose more weight and all this stuff,” she said.

Tammy’s latest photo

Slaton recently posted a picture of herself with a trach in. Though some fans found the photo concerning, many wished Slaton a speedy recovery.

“Wishing you much health and happiness,” one fan commented on the photo. “And hope rehab is going well, you are strong and can live the life you deserve.”

“Looking much better Tammy ❤️❤️❤️ stay strong, you got this,” another person said. “God has given you another chance run with it!”

Others weren’t so kind.

“So you traded in your oxygen tube for a trach,” another person said. “These are not accessories, hun.”

“Girl you need to make a change… show other women how it’s done, get on the right track!!!!” one person urged. “You have a platform, USE IT!!!”

“It’s not all about the weight Tammy, just get STRONGER, the rest will follow❤️ Love ya, do better queen,” another fan stressed.

“Are you going to take your health seriously NOW?????” one user asked. “What else is it gonna take for you to wake up and get it together???”

“I’m glad you’re still with us…however, I hope this scares you enough to change your habits,” another person commented. “No one can do it for you.”
