Mia Horton Tammy Slaton was told her body had “shut down” before she was hospitalized, as seen on the 1000-lb Sisters season 4 trailer. The new season also follows her marriage to Caleb Willingham, as well as her brother Chris’ transformation.
The trailer begins by showing a November 2021 clip of Tammy getting out of a vehicle before announcing she’s decided to go to rehab. A voiceover then reveals she stopped breathing.
However, Tammy makes rehab staff laugh by burping while using a walker. She then appears on camera from rehab to say: “I’m still here, b****es.” She later adds she has started “talking to somebody” in the center.

Tammy’s weight loss journey
Tammy has been on a weight loss journey since 1000-lb Sisters first aired on TLC. In February 2022, she shared selfies that showed off her transformation after sticking to her healthy diet, months after going into rehab.
Since she entered rehab, Tammy has been continuing to drop the pounds. She asked the doctor to tell her she’s “approved” for surgery but he said she has real risks, which he warned her about before.
