“Unrecognizable!”: 1000-Lb Sisters Star’s Facelift Could Signal Big Changes Ahead

Neha Nathani, who holds a Master’s degree in Journalism, has been a Reality TV writer at ScreenRant since April 2020, covering the latest news, in-depth features, and opinion pieces with a passion for storytelling, thorough research, and unbiased reporting. Beyond her work, she enjoys spending time with her three cats and experimenting with new dance moves in her living room.

Tammy, a 38-year-old native of Kentucky, underwent bariatric surgery in mid-2022. Over the following months, she lost hundreds of pounds, helping her reach several personal goals and milestones. After her remarkable weight loss, Tammy began consulting with doctors about her loose skin, which was impacting her daily life. She had to wait several months before her doctor could approve her to undergo the skin removal procedure. The procedure was featured in a recent episode of 1000-Lb Sisters season 7, highlighting Tammy’s physical transformation as she achieved the fit figure she had always desired.

Tammy Slaton Is A New Whole Woman

Tammy’s Journey Has Reached A Natural Conclusion

Each reality TV show has a beginning and an end. Cast members who appear on My 600-Lb Life often start at a heavy weight and try to get fit by the end of the season. Couples who appear on 90 Day Fiancé usually either get married or break up. Likewise, the storyline of 1000-Lb Sisters always focused on Tammy and Amy working towards weight loss and fitness goals. The Slaton siblings, who collectively weighed over a thousand pounds, aimed to lead normal lives and achieve personal goals, such as traveling and going on dates.

As of 2025, both Tammy and Amy have achieved their goals. Amy has lost weight, found a new partner, and become a mother of two. Tammy has lost more than 500 pounds and recently underwent a skin removal procedure, completing her physical transformation. The current Tammy is a completely different person, a whole new woman who has successfully completed her fitness journey. She not only looks different but has also transformed her personality, incorporating positive traits and becoming a more mature individual. Tammy’s transformative journey is complete, giving her no reason to return to 1000-Lb Sisters.

Tammy May Become More Independent

Tammy’s Newfound Independence May Push Her Away From Filming

Tammy may want to transition away from reality TV in the upcoming months because her physical transformation has enabled her to become more independent.

Tammy has developed the confidence to socialize with her friends and travel internationally. She is extremely independent and enjoys partying with her friends, as well as interacting with fans at meet-and-greets. Tammy’s newfound sense of independence may lead her to explore new opportunities and experiences. When she is healthy and independent enough, she may no longer want to stay in one place filming the same show. The criticism and negativity surrounding the show could also motivate Tammy to prioritize her new life and distance herself from any more negativity.

Will Tammy Regret Her Facelift?

Tammy Hasn’t Fully Recovered From Her Skin Removal Surgery Yet

Tammy may also choose to leave the show to focus on her recovery and ongoing skin removal journey. Cosmetic procedures can be challenging and require ample time for healing. Tammy‘s skin removal surgery is a significant accomplishment for her, but it’s also a major change that will have an impact on her life. In the coming months, Tammy may need to take breaks from the demanding filming schedule to allow her skin to heal. She may also need to come to terms with her new appearance, along with the highs and lows of the facelift, once it has settled.
