1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton makes her doctor 'so proud' after 300lb weight loss

1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has made her doctor 'so proud' after losing XX stone

Dr Eric Smith - the surgeon who performed Tammy's weight loss surgery.

"So proud of you," the doctor comment on one of Tammy's recent Instagram posts.

And fans are delighted her doctor is still supporting her weight loss journey.

"You are a credit to your profession for not giving up on Tammy," one fan commented.

Another wrote: "Proud of you for all the help you gave Tammy, you saved her life."

Fans of the show will remember Tammy entered food rehab weighing over 700lbs.

Dr Smith believed in Tammy against the odds and helped her lose the weight required to qualify for bariatric surgery.

After a lot of encouragement she lost the weight needed to get medical approval for the surgery, which she admitted was a "f***ing miracle".

Celebrating being approved for surgery, Tammy said at the time: "Finally, all my work has paid off. After all this bulls***, all the sacrifices. I had to give up a lot. My soadies. My chocolate."

Now Tammy looks incredible after dropping a whopping 300lb (21.4 stone).

The reality TV star, 36, rose to fame alongside her sister Amy Slaton, 35, on the TLC show - which has documented their attempts to lose weight since it debuted back in 2020.

The 36-year-old TLC reality star has recently taken to Instagram to show off her much slimmer frame and fans have been loving the snaps.

But it hasn't all been plain sailing and earlier this month, Tammy was allegedly " slipping back into old bad habits " after she "split" from her husband.

The US Sun reported that Tammy is living dangerously again, with her going on fast-food runs, smoking and ignoring her diet.

A source told the publication that the TV star is "back to her old ways" with them explaining how she "isn't paying attention to her diet, she is vaping, eating McDonald's regularly, and generally is not taking care of herself".

Not only this, but the source notes a lack of support from her family and a failure of them being "strict" with themselves and each other.

This comes as reports swirl that Tammy and Caleb Willingham have called quits on their short marriage, with an insider telling the US Sun that Tammy is already in the process of filing for divorce from Caleb.

The duo got hitched while in an Ohio-based rehab facility just last year in November 2022.
