‘1000-Lb Sisters’: Tammy Slatons Worries Fan With New Hospital Photo
Tammy Slaton’s health has been a constant concern for 1000-lb Sisters fans. Her eating and lifestyle habits have not been the most conducive to a healthy lifestyle throughout the TLC show. Recently, the reality star revealed that she had carbon dioxide poisoning. Slaton had been struggling with her breathing for months after contracting coronavirus (COVID-19). So, when she posted a new picture after revealing her latest condition, fans were immediately concerned.
Tammy Slaton’s conditions
In a recent TikTok, Slaton revealed what she had been going through.
“Around July of this year, I kind of had a mental breakdown and I lost myself literally super bad up until the end of August,” she said while coughing. “And then I took a break for September, which means I stopped filming for a month, and then in October, I filmed. Anyways, we are over with the season cause it’s on-air now but I ended up in the hospital because of carbon dioxide poisoning, which led to pneumonia and I was septic so yea, there’s that. I sound like this because after I got off of life support they put a trach in, so I’m trying to get used to that. I’m doing better day by day.”
Slaton said she’s set to continue healing in a rehab facility soon.
“Going to another nursing rehab to get my strength back and lose more weight and all this stuff,” she said.

“It’s not all about the weight Tammy, just get STRONGER, the rest will follow❤️ Love ya, do better queen,” another fan stressed.
“Are you going to take your health seriously NOW?????” one user asked. “What else is it gonna take for you to wake up and get it together???”
“I’m glad you’re still with us…however, I hope this scares you enough to change your habits,” another person commented. “No one can do it for you.”
