Tammy Slayton, one of the standout stars of TLC’s “Thousand-Lb Sisters,” has come a long way since the show first
premiered. Initially, Tammy struggled with her weight loss efforts and often clashed with her healthcare team and
family members. However, a pivotal moment came during a home visit from Dr. Eric Smith, prompting her to commit to rehab and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Although Tammy still faces challenges, fans are rallying behind her as they witness her remarkable progress.
A Moment of Reflection
Recently, viewers saw Tammy take some time to reflect on her past during an exciting family trip to London to explore their heritage. The journey wasn’t without its difficulties; despite noticeable improvements in her mobility, Tammy still found it challenging to keep up with her siblings. Thankfully, with the help of her brother Chris and a mobility scooter, she was able to join in on the fun during their European getaway.
Throughout this trip, Tammy faced some setbacks, including being turned down by a plastic surgeon for skin removal surgery. While this news was tough for her to digest, it did not overshadow her enjoyment of the vacation and the support of her family.

Proud of Progress
In a heartwarming moment, Tammy shared an inspirational quote on her Instagram stories that resonated with her followers: “I love when I realize I’m handling a situation better than my old self would have.” This reflection demonstrates her growth and newfound resilience as she navigates the ups and downs of her weight loss journey.
Support from friends and fellow stars has also been a vital part of Tammy’s experience. Vanessa Cross, a fellow TLC personality who has never met Tammy in person, has emerged as one of her biggest cheerleaders. In a recent interview, Vanessa expressed her admiration for both Tammy and her sister Amy’s dedication to their weight loss journeys. “Tammy is blowing it out of the water,” she said, emphasizing that she doesn’t want Tammy to feel discouraged after the plastic surgeon’s decision.
Encouragement and Support
Vanessa’s encouragement serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance, especially when setbacks occur. She is eager to lend her support, highlighting that Tammy’s journey, and the journeys of all the Slayton sisters, are inspiring to many.
