1000-Lb Sisters’ Tammy Faces Backlash After Being Caught Smoking On Video Post Skin Removal Surgery

Tammy Slaton from 1000-Lb Sisters has received criticism for smoking after undergoing skin removal surgery. Over the past two years, she has lost 500 pounds, resulting in a dramatic transformation of her appearance. However, the rapid weight loss left her with loose skin, affecting her confidence. Tammy sought advice from a surgeon about the possibility of skin removal surgery, but was advised to quit vaping and focus on improving her health first. In 1000-Lb Sisters season 7, Tammy finally underwent skin removal surgery and shared her experience with viewers. She expressed joy at finally being free of her excess skin.

Tammy was initially praised for losing 500 pounds and undergoing skin removal surgery, but is now facing scrutiny for her smoking habits.

Tammy recently attended a meet-and-greet, and one of her enthusiastic fans, @thomasrizer20, shared a video montage capturing the highlights of the event. In one clip from the video, Tammy was seen outside using a vaping device and exhaling smoke. Despite her fit appearance, some fans were upset by the fact that she smoked. @julesa95 commented, “Imagine all that hard work and improving your health, then you decide to smoke.” @jodyvanschoick chimed in, “Vappping bad bad bad.”

What Tammy Smoking After Skin Removal Surgery Means

Tammy Hasn’t Fully Quit Vaping Despite The Doctor’s Advice

The video featuring Tammy reveals that she hasn’t yet quit vaping. However, the video doesn’t disclose the frequency of her smoking, making it difficult to pass judgment. Initially, when the 1000-Lb Sisters cast member sought advice from her doctor about her vaping habits, she was asked to quit in order to facilitate the healing of her wounds after skin removal surgery. Tammy’s new video suggests that she may have fully recovered from her surgery and that her scars may have already healed, which is why she has started smoking again.

It’s also possible that Tammy isn’t vaping as aggressively as before. In the clip, she was seen smoking outside with other smokers in the background. She may have vaped simply to enjoy the moment. Tammy spent many hours in a meet-and-greet on the day the fan captured the video. It won’t be wrong to speculate that she likely smoked to alleviate the stress of meeting so many new people. Nonetheless, the video doesn’t indicate that Tammy is still as addicted to vaping as she was before, so it is unfair to blame her for it.

Our Take On Tammy’s Unhealthy Habit

Tammy Would Benefit From Giving Up Vaping

While it’s easy to understand why some fans may feel disappointed in Tammy for vaping again, it’s also clear why Tammy smoked in the clip. A meet-and-greet can be extremely stressful, especially for someone who has just recovered from skin removal surgery. Therefore, it’s difficult to blame Tammy for vaping that day. However, it would be in Tammy’s best interest to quit this bad habit permanently. She has worked hard to lose weight and is gradually getting in shape. It would be unfortunate if the 1000-Lb Sisters cast member encountered any complications because of her addiction.
