1000-Lb Sisters: Why Tammy Slaton May Not Need Her Trach Anymore

Tammy Slaton has been recovering from a near-death experience after the dramatic end of 1000-lb Sisters season 3, but based on the reality star’s latest TikToks, fans believe Tammy might not be relying on a trach tube to breathe. Tammy committed to a weight loss journey in 1000-lb Sisters season 1 because she was aware of the toll her food addiction was taking on her health, but the reality star has struggled to breathe since contracting COVID in season 2. From her hard work in rehab to her followers’ interpretations of her latest TikTok content, here’s why 1000-lb Sisters fans think Tammy Slaton may not need her trach anymore.

Even though Tammy vowed to lose weight and turn her life around alongside her sister, Amy Slaton-Halterman, in 1000-lb Sisters season 1, the older Slaton sibling hasn’t kept her word. While Amy succeeded in her goal of burning enough pounds to qualify for bariatric surgery by the end of season 1, Tammy has only demonstrated how little she cares about losing weight during her disappointing fitness venture in 1000-lb Sisters. In 1000-lb Sisters season 3, Tammy illustrated just how apathetic she was about saving her life when she opted to party with her friends and eat pizza rather than adhere to her diet and exercise routine. Although this resulted in Tammy requiring life-saving surgery, fans think Tammy Slaton might not need her trach anymore.

Regrettably, 1000-lb Sisters season 3 ended with Tammy being rushed to the hospital after she stopped breathing. Tammy Slaton started experiencing breathing issues after she got sick with COVID in season 2. Tammy managed to recover from the virus but relied on an oxygen tube to breathe. In season 3, Tammy suffered from oxygen poisoning, which left surgeons no option but to perform a tracheostomy on the Slaton sister. Since her surgery, Tammy has generously shared TikToks that detail her life in recovery thanks to her trach. Although medically minded 1000-lb Sisters fans noted that Tammy could be living with a trach for the rest of her life, the TV personality’s latest TikToks indicate that Tammy Slaton may not need her trach to breathe anymore. In response to a TikTok that featured Tammy using an oxygen tube, one Reddit user asked, “Did Tammy get off the trach tube?”

Unfortunately, undergoing a tracheostomy is no small feat, and some 1000-lb Sisters fans suspected that Tammy Slaton’s lungs could be too weak to function without the tube. In Tammy’s most recent TikToks, however, Tammy shared that she is once again using a breathing tube in her nose for oxygen. Optimistic viewers think this means Tammy may not need her trach anymore. A fan explained, “[Doctors] do try to ween you off, so maybe that is what is happening.” Although Tammy’s critics didn’t think she could improve her health, the TV personality has promised that she’s used her time in rehab to finally commit to her weight loss venture. While fans have disputed whether or not Tammy’s actually making progress in her fitness journey while in rehab, Tammy may have confirmed her weight loss by indicating that she is going off of her trach.

Although many 1000-lb Sisters fans wrote Tammy Slaton off as a lost cause after her tracheostomy, the Slaton sister might be proving her naysayers wrong. Based on the work she’s done in rehab and her encouraging TikToks, optimistic 1000-lb Sisters fans think Tammy Slaton may not need her trach anymore. Hopefully, Tammy continues to improve her health on and off of 1000-lb Sisters.
