1000-Lb Sisters: Why Fans Think Tammy's Survived So Many Close Calls
Tammy Slaton's life has almost slipped away from her several times throughout her harrowing weight loss venture in 1000-lb Sisters, and fans think they know why Tammy has managed to survive all of her nearly fatal situations. Unfortunately, the longer Tammy fails to lose weight, the more likely she is to face life-threatening health complications, but Tammy hasn't failed to recover from any of her illnesses yet. From her young age to pure luck, here's why 1000-lb Sisters fans think Tammy's survived so many close calls.
Ever since Tammy and her sister, Amy Slaton-Halterman, committed to weight loss journeys in 1000-lb Sisters season 1, their doctors have made it perfectly clear that if they don't lose weight soon, their lives would be cut short. While Amy took this message to heart and worked to slim down in season 1, Tammy has been reluctant to change her ways throughout her career in reality TV. While Amy successfully underwent bariatric surgery and went on to have a baby, Tammy continued to gain weight and put off her doctors' instructions. Regrettably, Tammy's resistance to following through on her weight loss goals has put her life in jeopardy on a number of occasions. Fans have been stunned to see Tammy's survived so many close calls against all odds.
Even though all of her family members have pleaded with Tammy Slaton in hopes she will understand the bleak reality of her situation in 1000-lb Sisters, Tammy hasn't been inspired to lose enough weight to improve her health. After failing to match Amy's fitness progress in season 1, Tammy appeared to have given up on her own aspirations. This turned out to have devastating consequences when she contracted COVID-19 in 1000-lb Sisters season 2. Due to her weight, Tammy was at risk of losing her life to the virus. Thankfully, Tammy was able to recover but relied on an oxygen tank to breathe. Although fans were relieved to hear of Tammy's recovery, some couldn't understand why Tammy withstood the deadly coronavirus. One Reddit user noted that it has everything to do with Tammy's luck, asserting, "[Tammy's] extremely lucky where other, much healthier people, weren't."
Tammy's condition meant that she was likely to have not survived COVID-19 when she got sick with it in 1000-lb Sisters season 2, but viewers believe the biggest reason why Tammy survived the close call is her luck. Sadly, COVID wasn't Tammy's most recent run-in with death. Tammy faced another health scare at the end of 1000-lb Sisters season 3 when she went to the hospital because she lost her ability to breathe. Tammy was put into an induced coma, which viewers suspected could be one battle too many for Tammy's precarious health. Miraculously, Tammy made it out of the coma and is once again recovering in a rehabilitation center. A fan believes Tammy's youth can explain her ability to consistently evade death, writing, "[Tammy's] still relatively young...that's the only reason she's still alive." Viewers think Tammy's survived so many close calls because she's only 35.
While 1000-lb Sisters fans are grateful that Tammy Slaton has recovered from a slew of life-threatening health crises, many viewers are shocked to see the reality star make so many comebacks. Fans suspect that Tammy's survived so many close calls thanks to her young age and good fortune. Hopefully, Tammy puts in the work to lose weight in 1000-lb Sisters before her luck runs out.
