Tammy Slaton’s weight-loss surgery was the main focus in 1000-Lb. Sisters Season 4. The reality TV star began the season at her highest weight ever — over 700 pounds. Now, she continues to lose weight after surgery, as seen in a photo of her with The Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond.

1000-Lb. Sisters Season 4 showed Tammy Slaton’s difficult journey to weight-loss surgery. She began the season heading back to rehab, though she initially had to go to the emergency room after experiencing breathing difficulties. While in rehab, she made it a goal to lose enough weight to attain weight-loss surgery — and she did.

“Eight months ago, my family got called, told them to come rush back to Ohio,” Tammy said on the show before her surgery. “I literally about died eight months ago. And now today I’m approved for weight-loss surgery. It’s a … miracle. I’m a walking miracle.”

The surgery gave Tammy a new lease on life. She headed back to rehab directly after surgery and stayed there for an additional few months, but she’s now out and living her life. According to The Sun, Tammy weighs just over 400 pounds now, which means she’s lost over 300 pounds since initially entering rehab at the beginning of season 4.

Tammy Slaton’s weight loss continues to surprise 1000-Lb. Sisters fans. Tammy frequently posts photos and video footage to TikTok to keep fans apprised of what’s happening in her life. A fan on Reddit found a photo of Tammy with The Pioneer Woman star Ree Drummond taken in March 2023.

The photo shows Tammy in the front of the photo with Chris Combs and his wife, Brittany, alongside Tammy. Next to Tammy is Drummond. Tammy appears to have a wheelchair behind her, but she’s standing without assistance.

“The weight loss is incredible. But look at the happiness in her smile!” the fan who posted the photo on Reddit commented.

“It’s so wonderful to see that she’s doing so great!” another fan wrote. “I’m glad she finally took everything seriously.”

Tammy posing alongside Drummond might also serve as an indicator that she traveled to see the Food Network star. Dixon, Kentucky, is over nine hours away from Pawhuska, Oklahoma, where Drummond lives. Tammy had difficulties getting in and out of a car in season 4. But her weight loss might make traveling much more accessible.
