When Will Tammy Slaton Get Skin Removal Surgery?

Tammy Slaton spent over a year in a weight loss rehab facility working to try to lose the weight she needed. She really wanted weight loss surgery but she had to get down to a particular weight. Of course, she could be stubborn and combative with some setbacks. Then, the day finally came when the risks were worth it and she went under. She has continued to progress even out of the facility despite leaving her husband, Caleb Willingham behind at the rehab. He ended up passing away at the age of 40 in the summer of 2023 which made some wonder if she would go back to her bad habits.

Luckily, she has continued to thrive and no longer needs a wheelchair or her oxygen. So, when will Tammy finally get her skin removal? Fans on Reddit started to inquire as they were just as curious as anyone who has watched her transformation. The OP wrote this:

  • How long will it take for Tammy to get skin removal? How long do you think she’ll have to wait? I think if she keeps up with the weight loss maybe 6 months to 1 year possibly?

They may be waiting to see if Tammy loses even more weight or doctors could be monitoring her health thoroughly. So, what did Redditors have to say?

  • Tammy is high risk, If the skin removal surgery would be dangerous for Tammy I’d rather she just remain the same.
  • Why does everyone assume that she’ll even qualify? Most surgeons want at least 3-6 months of weight stability.
  • She must maintain her goal weight for at least 18 months before skin removal surgery

General Consensus

Okay, so the common theme is that Tammy Slaton needs to be at her goal weight for around a year. Then, she can qualify for skin removal which makes a lot of sense. They may not want to go through the whole process just for her to go backward. At the same time, it was noted that every state and doctor has different rules. Plus, her health was brought up as a factor and some would rather her be healthy than get the surgery if it came down to it.

What do you think the holdup is? More so, when do you foresee Tammy getting her surgery, or are you just happy that she is staying healthy? Let us know your thoughts and watch 1000-Lb. Sisters Tuesdays on TLC.

  1. She is still far too fat to get skin removal surgery. And she will have to pay for the skin removal, which will be thousands of dollars she doesn’t have.
