1000-lb Sisters’ Tammy Slaton shares shocking new photos months after skin removal surgery and fans are saying the same thing
1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has revealed her latest batch of shocking new photos mere months after undergoing her long-awaited skin removal surgery.
Ever since the 38-year-old reality TV personality popped onto our screens back in 2020, fans have been absolutely gripped throughout her emotional weight loss journey - which saw her impressively lose as much as 500lbs - with her latest update showing off the results of her excess skin removal surgery which removed 15 pounds of the excess skin.
Since that episode was aired last month (10 June), TLC viewers have been treated to a number of 'after' snaps on Tammy's various social media pages with the most recent being uploaded to TikTok yesterday (20 July).
The video in question features 11 photos - both selfies and full body shots - of Tammy posing with a smile to the backing viral 'I understood the assignment' audio.

Upon catching light of the photo dump, fans rushed to the comments to share their praise for how well Tammy's been doing post-op as one TikTok user beamed: "Absolutely loving this era of Tammy!"
"Love that you’ve been so dedicated and successful with your weight loss journey," gushed a second, while a third chimed in: "Good for you, Tammy! I'm glad to see you're healing up well after the skin removal surgery."
A fourth chirped: "Tammy, you look incredible! Don't let anyone tell anything differently."
"Yassss Tammy! Loving the confidence," praised a fifth, while a sixth congratulated: "Tammy, I'm so proud of you!!! You look amazing and I love seeing you live your life!"
Amid the avalanche of praise she's received post-op, Tammy previously opened up to PEOPLE about what was going on in her head ahead of the life-changing surgery - confessing that she was more nervous about her skin removal, which took place earlier this year (18 January), than she was about undergoing bariatric surgery.
"After six years and losing over 500 pounds, I was finally approved for surgery," she explained. "I was just overwhelmed with excitement. 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."
Opening up a little further about the situation, Tammy continued to reveal what her 'biggest concern' was: "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."
Following the successful surgery, which took a staggering eight hours, Tammy celebrated with her siblings - Amy, Amanda, Misty and Chris - upon finally returning home, where she revealed the one thing that surprised doctors after her skin removal transformation.
"I surprised the doctors with how well my body was healing. I ended up coming home from Pittsburgh, like, four days early," she told the outlet.
