1000-Lb Sisters fans are desperate for Tammy Slaton to finally get her skin removal surgery. Everyone has cheered her on as she shed an incredible amount of weight. But now, some of them are literally crying because the TLC star still hasn’t had it. Read on to find out why.

Tammy Slaton Wants To Become A Model

For about a year now, TLC fans encouraged Tammy to take on a role as a model for plus-sized women. However, that remains a dream for the time being. She has more weight to shed still. But, her skin hangs down all over. Before and after photos showed the incredible problem the doctor will have to deal with. 

Unfortunately, Tammy Slaton suffered ill health through her years of obesity and abuse of her body. In fact, she nearly died several times. The 1000-Lb Sisters star faces several big surgeries and infection is an ever-present danger. Furthermore, despite losing so much weight, Dr. Smith feels that she is still not ready for surgery, anyway. 

The second Opinio Didn’t Get Tammy Slaton Closer

Although Doc Smith admired the efforts made by Tammy. she felt disappointed by his finding. So, she went to see another doctor and TLC fans saw her consult with Dr. Turner. The second doctor agreed that the 1000-Lb Sisters star still needs to work on her weight. In fact, Turner claims that probably another “six months” to a year might see her get to the correct weight.

Additionally, she’s not been out of her previous massive weight bracket for all that long. So, he encouraged her to keep going. After trying so hard to shed her weight, Tammy Slaton immediately felt down, but now, she needs to stay positive and keep on focussing on her ultimate goals. Dr Turner assured the TLC star that it’s not a never gonna happen situation. In time, she will be ready for her skin removal surgery. Ironically, she weighed less than her brother Chris Combs for the first time. 

TLC Fans Worry

1000-Lb Sisters fans are worried about Tammy because when she sulks, she gets depressed. When she gets depressed, she eats, drinks, and vapes. U/United_Tone_2584 commented on Reddit:

I see Tammy going back to her old ways when shutting down at the plastic surgeon’s office…we see her slowly making steps towards being a more mature adult but then she has these moments of acting like a child again. When the doctor wanted to look at the excess skin, she just crosses her arms and ignores everyone. even Chris said “here we go, now she’s getting difficult”… But also if Tammy is … serious about getting skin removal surgery, she needs to understand that the doctor needs to see the excess skin, not just the clothes covering it to make a fully informed decision…please grow up and stop acting like a toddler!

Other TLC fans also worry about Tammy Slaton. Here are a few more observations:

• Sometimes I try to be compassionate for Tammy and the fact that she’s been obese all of her life and because of that she’s used to her family doing everything for her. So now even though she’s lost all this weight her mind is still stuck In that helpless mode.
• She just wants to be waited on and doesn’t want to have to do anything for herself. She’s made a lot of progress but then it’s like she goes backwards.
