Watch: '1000-Lb. Sisters' Star Tammy Slaton Claps Back at Claims She Mistreats Her Family

After being told that she would need to lose weight before she was eligible for skin removal surgery, Tammy visited a new surgeon in the Dec. 17 season finale of 1000-Lb. Sisters who confirmed Tammy would have to kick her vaping habit before he was able to operate.

The 38-year-old was joined by sisters Amy Slaton and Misty Slaton as they visited Pittsburgh-based plastic surgeon Dr. J. Peter Rubin, where Tammy got candid about how much the excess skin was limiting her mobility.

"I just want to be able to walk around better without losing balance," she told the doctor, before adding in a separate interview, "It's hard to walk because of the skin. I walk like a daggone penguin. My belly goes this way and I'm going that way."

Dr. Rubin agreed to removing the excess skin around Tammy's lower stomach and chin, but noted that taking care of other parts of her body would have to be done in separate surgeries.
