Tammy Slaton’s transformation isn’t just a personal victory — it’s a rallying cry for anyone on a weight loss journey. The 38-year-old 1000-Lb. Sisters icon, fresh off shedding 500 pounds, has turned her health saga into a beacon of hope, backed by the support of her bariatric surgeon, Dr. Eric Smith.
On Friday, September 13, Slaton posted a video to Instagram with a message for her fans about losing weight: “🌟 Your Journey is Unique, But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone🌟,” the caption read. “My journey isn’t everyone’s journey, but I know many of you have been inspired by the growth you’ve seen in me over the years. 💖 I have to say, one of the biggest game-changers for me recently has been connecting with Pop Recovery Systems. They’ve met me right where I am and helped guide me through the next chapter of my transformation. 🙌”
Tammy and Amy both star in TLC’s ‘1000-Lb Sisters.’ The reality tv star took to social media to write about her transformation. Her surgeon, Dr. Eric Smith, commented.
