Right now, there are plenty of TLC shows that explore weight loss and bariatric surgery. On Tuesday nights, fans can tune in and catch the casts of 1000-Lb Sisters and 1000-Lb Best Friends exploring weight loss and bariatric surgery. While some stars like Tammy Slaton are doing remarkably well, others like Meghan Crumpler are struggling.

Since so many viewers watch both shows, some have noted that Tammy actually weighs less than Meghan right now. Tammy once weighed well over 700 lbs and had to record her weight on an industrial scale. At her heaviest, Meghan was very close to 500 lbs.

Bariatric surgery has improved both women’s lives for the better. But while Tammy continues exceeding her doctor’s expectations, Meghan has stalled.

Tammy Slaton Passes Her Fellow TLC Star Meghan Crumpler In Weight Loss

Weight loss generally isn’t easy to begin with. But Tammy Slaton struggled with food addiction and alcoholism on top of that. Before deciding to start a rehab program, Tammy regularly partied onscreen and made terrible choices. But after completing rehab, she’s turned over a brand new leaf. She went on to receive bariatric surgery and is inching closer to skin removal surgery too.

This season, Tammy Slaton weighs in at about 220 lbs.

Meanwhile, Meghan Crumpler has had varying degrees of success in her own journey on 1000-Lb Best Friends. Meghan and Vannessa Cross first appeared on Too Large. At that point in her life, Meghan teetered around 500 lbs and struggled to use the bathroom on her own. Now, she’s down to around 289 lbs. It’s a significant weight loss, but she admits she’s plateaued since then.

All journeys are different and unique, but fans weren’t sure they would ever see a point in time when Tammy Slaton was so wildly successful.

On 1000-Lb Sisters, Tammy Slaton confessed she was always the biggest of her siblings. But after attending a doctor’s appointment with her brother Chris Combs, that isn’t true any longer. For the first time in their adult lives, Tammy weighed less than Chris.

Meanwhile, on 1000-Lb Best Friends, Meghan Crumpler wants Dr. Procter to redo her bariatric surgery. He agrees, but only if Meghan can lose 30-40 lbs first. She’s determined to make it happen, but fans aren’t convinced after her noncommital behavior in the past.

  1. Tammy has done great! Even her attitude has improved enormously. I couldn’t stand her in the beginning but it seems that the facility she was in did great for her she came out a new person. the tragedies that came her way were horrible. I think she should probably get custody or at least part if Amy’s kids bc Amy and Amanda seem to be the unstable ones in the family. I was never a Crumpler fan, this woman is an oversized baby, I find myself saying to her every week shut up and get over yourself. put tge damn teddy bear down you freak! I’m team Tammy definately not team Meghan never will be.
