Tammy Slaton opens up on the milestones she has achieved since losing weight 

In December last year, the reality star told the outlet about the milestones she has achieved since losing 440 lbs, down from her highest weight of 725 lbs. She underwent bariatric surgery in July 2022 and is now down to 285 lbs. “One of the big changes that I have gone through this past year is probably small to most people,” Slaton said, adding “But for me it was huge.”

“Just being able to walk without a walker or be pushed in a wheelchair, and no oxygen. I don't even sleep with it at night anymore,” she boasted. “Then it was being able to fit in a regular vehicle, front seat, and then the belt buckle, and not have to use an extender now. So I mean, just what seems minor to some people is giant for me,” she continued.

Dr Eric Smith recalls the moment Tammy Slaton told him she was able to buckle her seatbelt in her car

At the time, Smith recalled the moment Slaton told him about being able to buckle her seatbelt in the car. He admitted that he wanted her to continue celebrating those non-scale victories rather than the number on the scale.

“I remember the first time I got a picture that she sent me of her riding the front seat in a car with a seatbelt, things that we may take for granted,” Smith told People at the time, adding “That was a huge accomplishment for her when she used to be coming to my office in the back of a minivan with the seats removed because that was the only way that they could transport her.”

“For Tammy, I told her don't get so caught up in a number. Enjoy the ride getting there. I want her to enjoy what we call those non-scale victories, the ability to be more mobile by herself,” he said. “I'm proud of her for those weight or number goals, but what I'm most proud about is the goals that she's achieving of actually living a healthier and happier life,” Smith added.
