1000-lb Sisters’ Tammy Slaton reveals major skin removal transformation and fans are all having the same reaction
We've all been invested in Tammy's incredible weight loss journey
1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has shocked fans with her jaw-dropping transformation after having skin removal surgery.
The internet has been invested since the 38-year-old reality TV star first appeared on the show, which started back in 2020.
Tammy took viewers along on her weight loss journey, including a 14-month stay in a weight loss rehab facility and bariatric surgery in July 2022, which has since seen her shed an incredible 500-lb.
However, after shedding the pounds, the reality star - who at her heaviest weighed 725 pounds - still had one insecurity.

This was the loose skin that was leftover, a common issue for people who quickly lose a lot of weight.
"I’ve come so far on my weight loss journey," she previously said. "But now I have even more insecurities about my body because I have so much loose skin."
In the finale for the previous season, which aired in December, Tammy admitted she was ‘p*ssed’ because there had been a delay in her getting skin removal surgery.
In another interview, she admitted: "It’s hard to walk because of the skin. I walk like a daggone penguin. My belly goes this way and I’m going that way."
The reason behind the delay was due to her vaping habit, which could impact her recovery.
"I’ve been waiting to hear that I can get my skin removal for so long," she later added. "When I get rid of the skin, I’m going to be a brand-new me. Bette. I’m going to become a model and walk the catwalk."
And now, the moment she’s been waiting for has finally arrived and everyone is having the same reaction to the results.
In the new season finale, which aired on 10 June, Tammy finally saw the results of the procedure, which removed 15 pounds of the excess skin.
The emotional clip showed the reality star in her hospital bed after the surgery as someone brings over a mirror so she can see her new look.
Her brother Chris said: "Honestly, I’m hoping Tammy sees a new person in that mirror. She’s put all this work in to lose all this weight, so it’s time for her to feel good too about herself.”
When she saw her face for the first time, speechless, Tammy simply reacted with a very taken aback: “Boy..”
Later, in a confessional, she said: “I’m shocked. Like, I feel so weird. I don’t have my hanging b******* off my face.
“My bat wings are gone too. And I look down and there’s not nothing there but my lap now. It’s gonna take a little while for me to get used to seeing myself like this.”
Everyone is of course thrilled for Tammy and people have rushed to social media to say how ‘proud’ they are of her journey.
One X user penned: “Tammy has come such a long way! Two seasons ago I didn't even think she'd be able to get bariatric surgery and now she looks like a new person! What an amazing transformation #1000lbSisters.”
Another sweetly added: “Her smiles are so genuine now. I am so proud of her.”
“What an incredible transformation. Tammy really did that. She should be SO proud of herself #1000lbSisters,” quipped another supportive fan.
Meanwhile, someone else added: “Tammy gets all the flowers! She has turned her whole life around. Her health and her attitude. She carried this season #1000lbSisters.”
Others chimed in with: “I never thought we’d see Tammy get to this point!!! #1000lbSisters” and: “I’m so proud of Tammy. You did it girl #1000lbsisters”.
Hear, hear - well done, Tammy!
