1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton unveils astonishing new look after 500lb weight loss and major surgery
1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton unveiled her astonishing new look following her major weight loss transformation which has been documented alongside sister Amy on the TLC series.
The TV personality, 38 - who recently gave a health update after undergoing a procedure - joined her sibling as they both weighed themselves at the same junkyard they went to before starting their health journey.
During Tuesday's episode, Tammy showed off her slimmer frame after dropping 500lbs in total - and having successful skin removal surgery.
In a short snippet uploaded to TLC's Instagram page, the sisters were seen arriving to the S&S Salvage junkyard - six years after their initial visit.
'Man, last time I've been to this junkyard, I felt like complete trash,' Amy could be heard saying. 'Like the size of a tractor.'
The video then jumped back to 2019 when Tammy and Amy were greeted by a supervisor named Ronnie who led them to a nearby scale.
Amy had explained at the time that both she and her sister were awaiting to get approval to have gastric bypass surgery and needed to find out how much they weighed.
'We haven't been able to find a scale to weigh us and we heard that you might be able to help us,' Tammy added.
Six years earlier, Amy had weighed 406 while Tammy was 605 - which garnered emotional responses from both of the reality stars.
'Seeing that number on the scale, it just made my heart drop,' Amy said in a confessional. 'This is the most I've ever weighed.'
It was then Tammy's turn and she admitted, 'I did not want to get onto that scale. Honestly, I just wanted to leave.'
Upon seeing 605 flash onto the small screen, Tammy looked over at her sister before breaking down in tears.
'The size that I am right now didn't happen overnight. It's my fault that I'm this size,' she said.
And in 2025, Amy stepped on the scale once again - with her transformed weight showing 249lbs.
'We haven't been able to find a scale to weigh us and we heard that you might be able to help us,' Tammy added

Amy later told Tammy that while recently at the junkyard once again, she was struggling through emotions of both 'happiness' and 'pain' due to gaining back some weight.
But Tammy offered support to her sister and pointed out, 'You still lost 150lbs. That's great. Like, you still should be proud of yourself. And you can always get back on track.'
In the new snippet, Tammy's current weight was revealed to be 216lbs.
Back in April, she shared that she had dropped 500lbs after being at her highest weight of 725lbs on the season seven premiere of the TLC show.
'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700 plus lbs. Right now, I'm weighing in at 238. Everybody keeps telling me I'm looking smaller than Amy. That's kind of hard to believe,' she said.
Last week, it was revealed that Tammy had finally undergone skin removal surgery as she opened up in a new interview.
The TV personality shared that she was approved for the long-awaited surgery amid her incredible weight loss journey.
She opened up about the 'overwhelming' emotions she felt after 'working really hard' over the past six years to drop the weight to be able to have the eight-hour procedure.
She told People: 'After six years and losing over 500 pounds, I was finally approved for surgery. 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.'
Tammy traveled to Pittsburgh for her skin removal with plastic surgeon Dr. J. Peter Rubin at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the reality of the procedure hit her the night before.
She said: '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.
'The night before my surgery, I was, like, seriously freaking terrified. I was even more nervous about having skin removal surgery than I was for the [sleeve gastrectomy] surgery because they're actually cutting the whole belly!'
Tammy underwent her skin removal surgery on January 18, and during the 8-hour procedure, doctors removed 'over 15 lbs' of excess skin from her chin, arms and lower stomach.
The star's complex surgery was documented on the show and during the season finale, all of her siblings were in awe of her transformation and praised her for how far she's come in her weight loss journey.
Speaking on the show, after the surgery, Tammy said: 'It feels so weird not having the ball sack hanging off my face and my bat wings are gone too, I look down and there is nothing there in my lap now.
'It's going to take a little while for me to get use to seeing myself like this'.
It comes after Tammy revealed in April that she's in new relationship with a woman.
In the seventh season of the much-loved TLC series, pansexual Tammy and her sister Amy are seen catching up their fans on their lives.
She spoke about her new budding romance in a confessional preview of the series - and admitted she hasn't told her family yet.
Tammy said: 'There's something I haven't told my family. Amy's not the only one that's been seeing somebody new. So have I...
'I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it's going pretty well. The person I'm dating is a woman. So I haven't told my family because my family's gonna have something to say about it.'
She added, 'I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much.'
This is Tammy's first relationship since the death of her husband, Caleb Willingham, who she married in November 2022.
'A few years ago I came out as pansexual but after Caleb passing, I just don't want to be with men anymore,' Tammy said later in the preview clip.
'I don't know how my family is going to react when I tell them I'm seeing a woman.'
Tammy's husband Caleb died from unknown causes at age 40 - just seven months after the couple tied the knot in November 2022.

Plane passenger's 'disgusting' habit mid-flight sparks fierce outrage
A woman on a recent Delta flight horrified fellow passengers after propping her bare feet without socks on the TV screen in front of her. Someone else on the flight snapped a photo of the bizarre and unhygienic moment and shared it to Reddit, where it quickly went viral. 'Jesus Christ…' they captioned the post, adding: 'Do I even need to say anything?' Though it's unclear whether she was using her toes to actually interact with the screen, the image showed her shoe and sock-less feet pressed against the in-flight entertainment system. It sparked widespread disgust online and reignited debates about personal space and airplane etiquette. The poster later responded to a comment, saying: 'She had them on the wall first and I was like, [What the f**k], but OK." Now they're on the goddamn touchscreen. Come on.' Some comments read: 'People are so disgusting,' 'Gross,' and, 'Flight attendants really need to start saying something.' 'I never wear shorts, short sleeve shorts, flip flops, or open-toe shoes on a plane... Ever... they are so incredibly dirty,' one user said. 'The bare feet people on planes is just gross… especially when they stick them on things,' another wrote. 'I can smell this photo. I'd be so upset if I had to sit near this,' a different user expressed. 'Where are the flight attendants? Did anyone complain?' someone else asked. 'Ewww no one wants to see toes in the air,' one person admitted. Someone else wrote: 'Absolutely THE F**K not. Why are grown adults so gross?!?!' 'Do flight attendants just not want to get into a fight or what? [In my opinion], it's perfectly reasonable to ask her to keep her feet off the... screen,' another user explained. Recently, insiders exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail the absolute worst ways vacationers can behave, from forcing other tourists to swap seats with them against their will to cutting their toenails onboard. The worldwide baggage shipping company Luggage Forward conducted a study of airplane etiquette preferences and found the worst offenders (in order) were talking loudly on a plane, playing a video or music without headphones, eating smelly food, taking off your shoes, and using both armrests. There are also massive personal grooming mistakes people make while flying, etiquette expert Genevieve 'Jenny' Dreizen, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, told the Daily Mail. One no-no is people toenail clipping or in-flight manicures, which Dreizen fittingly described as 'deeply unhygienic and very disruptive.' And no matter how comfortable it may seem, keep those shoes on. Dreizen believes that everyone 'should attempt to keep their shoes on for safety reasons because on a typical flight, there's really no need to take them off.' 'No bare feet on the seats or in the aisle, ever,' Dreizen said, adding, 'It's a plane, not your living room.'
