Tammy Slaton, the star of TLC’s 1000-Lb. Sisters, has achieved another significant milestone in her weight loss journey. At her latest weigh-in, she tipped the scales at 281.2 pounds, a remarkable achievement that has left her thrilled and her fans cheering.

Slaton revealed that she now weighs less than her older brother, Chris Combs. She expressed her excitement, stating, “Chris said he weighs 284 pounds, and now I weigh a little less than him. That’s mind-blowing.” She proudly added, “I’m the baby sister, but I’m not the ‘big’ baby sister anymore.”

The 38-year-old star has made substantial progress in recent months. Since her last doctor’s visit, she has shed 20 pounds in just three months. Her brother Chris, a supportive figure in her journey, expressed his pride and surprise at her remarkable transformation. Fans on social media have been showering Slaton with congratulations and support. Many are excited to see her continue her journey and achieve her goal of qualifying for skin removal surgery.

Slaton’s weight loss journey has been nothing short of inspiring. In 2020, she was told by her doctor that she needed to lose significant weight to qualify for bariatric surgery. Through dedication and hard work, she successfully lost 200 pounds by 2022 and underwent the life-changing procedure.

Following the surgery, Slaton continued her weight loss journey, shedding an additional 300 pounds in the following year. This remarkable transformation has had a significant impact on her overall health and well-being. She no longer relies on a walker or an oxygen tank, and she has regained her independence.

As Slaton continues her journey, she is focused on qualifying for skin removal surgery. Dr. Eric Smith, her bariatric surgeon, explained that while it’s typically recommended to wait 3-6 months after significant weight loss before considering skin removal surgery, Slaton’s case is unique due to the amount of loose skin affecting her mobility and overall health.
