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 Upon seeing 605 flash onto the small screen, Tammy looked over at her sister before breaking down in tears The star was quiet at first, taking in the results and admitted to her sister - as well as other siblings Amanda and Chris - that she was in 'shock' The star was quiet at first, taking in the results and admitted to her sister - as well as other siblings Amanda and Chris - that she was in 'shock.' 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.

Man Gored by Bison While Visiting Yellowstone National Park
Originally appeared on E! Online A New Jersey resident is on the mend after a shocking end to his visit to Wyoming. At Yellowstone National Park June 10, a 30-year-old man from Randolph, New Jersey, sustained minor injuries after being gored by a bison, when a large visiting group got a little too close to the animal, according to the park's website. Park officials said in a news release that the bison charged at the man at around 9:45 a.m. local time in the Old Faithful geyser area of the park. Yellowstone officials are still investigating the severity of the man's injuries and the incident itself, although they reported he had been 'treated and transported by emergency personnel.' This is the fifth bison-related incident to occur in the national park since 2023, according to Yellowstone. The latest bison blitz follows another situation that occurred this spring in the Lake Village area of the park, when a 47-year-old Florida resident was similarly struck by the animal's horns.

Following her attack, Yellowstone issued a report saying she was airlifted to an Idaho hospital by helicopter. Yellowstone repeatedly warns its visitors about the dangers of getting too close to bison that live in the park, recommending to maintain at least 25 yards of distance from the animals, and at least 100 yards from the park's bears, wolves and cougars. 'Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal,' Yellowstone has said in several press statements following the various attacks. 'Bison are not aggressive animals but will defend their space when threatened. They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans.' After the park opened up on the situation on social media, many online users reacted to the latest attack, noting the victim was blatantly breaking the Yellowstone rules. 'Don't pet the fluffy cows!' one user joked, with another adding, 'You guys don't put those signs up just for fun??' For the latest breaking news updates, click here to download the E! News App

The TLC star also said she had been 'doing fairly well' getting through the tragedy, and had even made a ring and musical note-shaped necklace with the ashes of her late husband. She had grown attached to the jewelry and finds comfort knowing a piece of him remains with her. 'He's going to live on now forever because his memory is encapsulated,' Tammy said. 'Knowing that he's with me, it's helping me pass the day. I find myself grabbing my necklace and holding it a lot. When I take off my jewelry, I feel like it's weird, separation anxiety. I start panicking.' Watching Caleb on their show has also provided her with some joy: 'Every time I miss him, I can always look back at the show and watch it and see what made me happy again.'
