‘1000-Lb Sisters’ Tammy’s Insecurities Prevent Proper Consultation

On this season of 1000-Lb Sisters, Tammy Slaton has more mobility than ever before. But she’s also struggling with insecurities and mental blocks as she prepares for skin removal surgery.

Viewers can clearly see how desperately Tammy wants the procedure. But so far, she hasn’t even let the plastic surgeon examine her. Are her securities preventing her from receiving the medical attention she needs?

One 1000-Lb Sisters Fan Wants Tammy To Move Past Her Mental Health Struggles

Each of Tammy Slaton’s fans wants her to be in a healthy headspace. But at least one 1000-Lb Sisters fan feels aggravated that Tammy’s insecurities prevented the plastic surgeon from examining her loose skin.

“Look I know Tammy is probably insecure with the loose skin that she has I get that but at some point she’s gonna have to put on her big girl panties and let the plastic surgeon take a look at her and tell her what she needs to do In order to qualify like what the plastic surgeon told Chris to do. If she continues to act like a toddler and shut down when she gets denied and not letting the plastic surgeon look at her she will never be approved for surgery,” a 1000-Lb Sisters viewer shared on Reddit.

Fans Defend Tammy Slaton

Other 1000-Lb Sisters viewers acknowledged Tammy’s insecurities might be holding her back. However, others pointed out she likely felt shy at the appointment for a wide variety of reasons. In particular, cameras were filming a very vulnerable moment. And on top of that, she was meeting a new doctor for the first time. Many fans empathized with her.

Reddit users commented:

• “I feel for Tammy because her body is changing but not fast enough for her. She thinks she’s going to lose another 200 lbs by having another easy out surgery, but it doesn’t work like that.”
• “In comparison to how big she was before, I would feel defeated with a 100lb goal after all she just lost. But also motivated, I have one more hundred and then I’m into maintenance!”
• “I wonder if she would have been as closed off if it was Dr. Smith who she normally sees. Maybe she was uncomfortable around this new doctor. Not making excuses for her it was just a thought.”
• “Maybe she didn’t want to do it on camera. I know I sure wouldn’t.”
