Tammy Slaton is enjoying the outdoors this summer.
On Wednesday, the 36-year-old 1000-Lb. Sisters actress posted a number of images to Instagram showing her lounging by the water while using a wheelchair.
In the photographs, Slaton was seen gazing out over the water while wearing a pink dress and a butterfly-shaped hair clip.
She earned compliments for both her weight loss efforts and how frequently she has been pictured outside the house in recent weeks from a number of fans in the comments area.
“Tammy, you’re doing great, and we’ve got your back 100 percent!” One supporter commented, “Love that you’re getting out and seeing the world after your weight loss,” and another added, “Love that.” To yourself, you owe it.
Last week, Slaton was also spotted giving a special birthday present to her bariatric surgeon, Dr. Eric Smith.
She shocked her weight reduction surgeon by showing up at his office and demonstrating in an Instagram video that she had finally been able to get rid of her oxygen tube and could walk on her own.
“Something is missing,” Slaton gestures proudly at her face as she moves and embraces Smith.
“No air! Wow, that’s incredible. Smith said that before Slaton said that she had been without it for two weeks.
Smith referred to the experience as his “best birthday surprise.”
Later, the reality star posed for a photo alongside Smith and her brother Chris.
Slaton boasted in May about how “great” she was feeling as she made noticeable progress following weight-loss surgery.
She had a lengthy interview with PEOPLE where she discussed the achievements she has made since having bariatric surgery in 2022. Since her near-death experience before to the treatment, when she was put into a medically induced coma and put on a ventilator after family members reported that she stopped breathing, she has come a long way.
According to Slaton, “I wised up and got my operation.”I was able to build up my lungs enough to be able to breathe without a tracheostomy tube, and most recently, my doctor gave me the all-clear to quit using my oxygen during the day.
In the present, she continued, “I only use my BiPap machine and oxygen at night.” I monitor my oxygen levels all day long and keep my machine close by.
I’m feeling great, Slaton continued. I’m happy with how far I’ve come and thankful to be alive.
