Tammy Slaton has been less active on social media recently, but she remains focused on her weight loss goals. In December 2023, she spoke with PEOPLE about her progress, revealing that she had lost 440 lbs. from her highest weight of 725 lbs after bariatric surgery in July 2022. “One of the big changes that I have gone through this past year is probably small to most people,” she noted, “But for me it was huge.”
Slaton reported significant improvements in her daily life, such as walking without a walker, not requiring oxygen, and fitting into a standard vehicle without an extender. These changes, while minor to some, represented significant milestones for her.
In February, Slaton talked about how her weight loss has affected her overall quality of life. She revealed in a TikTok video that she had previously experienced severe depression and suicidal thoughts. “I have personally seen a lot of growth in how I treat people and my family,” she said. “Just my attitude and how happier I seem. I smile a lot more.”
