1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton is getting closer to leaving rehab and getting that weight loss surgery that she has been working towards.

1000-Lb Sisters: Tammy Slaton facing Side Effects of Weight Loss
Tammy Slaton is currently estimated to be around 35-40 pounds from being able to leave rehab and get weight loss surgery. The 1000-Lb Sisters stars physician, Dr. Eric Smith, has an agreement with her.
Dr. Smith promises Tammy he will make arrangements for her to undergo surgery if she drops below 500 pounds while in rehab. Slaton’s rehab journey has not been without many struggles for the TLC star.
One day into her rehab stent, Tammy was rushed to the hospital due to experiencing breathing difficulties. But, to date, other than the usual struggles and roadblocks that come with losing weight, Tammy is now reportedly back on track.
Recently, she may have had her tracheostomy tube capped. So that could be one more step to getting the operation. Although there will be a Season 4, filming has not started yet. Are they waiting for her surgery to happen first?
Fans are noticing the changes that Tammy Slaton is currently undergoing. However, they have also seen one more change that many find disturbing.
During a recent Instagram photo share, some fans began pointing out the 1000-Lb Sisters stars forehead. Additionally, they noticed that Tammy is losing weight, but she also appears to be losing a large amount of hair in the process.
Internet Trolls Continue to Bash TLC Stars
Fans shared Tammy Slaton’s photo on Redditt, and the commenters there began to take a harsh approach when discussing the 1000-Lb Sisters‘ current photo. However, many fans jumped in to defend Tammy’s claiming, that hair loss is often a normal side effect of weight loss.
Per the Medical News Daily, losing hair during weight loss is a normal and temporary side effect. Stress on the body or lack of nutrients may be the cause. The article also reveals that hair loss typically occurs around 3-4 months after rapid weight loss and can last up to 6 months.
The medical term is known as Telogen Effluvium. The hair loss symptoms generally within 6-9 months as the body adjusts to the recent changes.
Being a reality television star is not all some believe it to be. Tammy and her sister Amy Slaton have grown very accustomed to one of the many dark sides of being famous.
Unfortunately, the 1000-Lb Sisters often find that not all of their social media followers are kind. Recently Tammy’s sister Amy has been under attack herself.

However, what fans believe they spotted in the background sent them into a nasty rant. Fans thought they saw a toilet brush on the floor among the toddler’s toys.
They began blasting Amy Slaton, calling her a bad mother for not being more mindful of what her son was playing with. They claim she is putting her son in harm’s way by allowing him to play with a toilet brush.
However, Amy quickly put her haters in their place, revealing that they were wrong. The object they thought was a toilet brush is not. It was a toy marshmallow on a stick belonging to a play camping set.
