1000-LB. Sisters Tammy Slaton has relapsed in obesity & must return to surgical center now, bariatric ex… – The US Sun
1000-LB. Sisters star Tammy Slaton's meal choices suggest she has relapsed in her obesity struggle and needs to return to treatment, a bariatric psychologist has said.
And she claims the 36-year-old could be managing Dumping Syndrome after downing fatty fast food after gastric bypass surgery.
Over the past year, Tammy Slaton has lost a massive 300 pounds in weight.
This has been helped along with food rehabilitation stays and, more recently, gastric bypass surgery.
The TLC star previously tipped the scales at 700 pounds.
Tammy has also managed health issues on her extreme weight loss journey, including diabetes, breathing issues, and falling into two comas.
Previously on TLC, Tammy admitted to downing eight bottles of liquor per week.
In June, Tammy underwent potentially life-changing bariatric surgery in Lexington, Kentucky.
She followed this by returning to her Ohio weight rehab center for recovery - where she met and married her husband, Caleb.
Bariatric surgery, also known as gastric bypass surgery, is an operation that helps people lose weight quickly and in extreme situations.
It works by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach, meaning it takes less food to make you feel full and you'll absorb fewer calories from the food you eat.
Within months of leaving rehab, on April 9, Tammy was spotted with a McDonald's bag.
While the 1000-Lb. Sister's weight loss journey was documented on TLC during its fourth season, Tammy was seen vaping while riding her scooter, holding her oxygen tank.
An insider also saw Tammy and her sister Amy, 35, at their local Walmart shopping for Twinkies and chips.
In an exclusive interview, licensed psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman Ph.D. told The U.S. Sun: Obesity is a disease and Tammy needs to manage this for the rest of her life.
The bariatric surgery she had is a treatment for obesity, but its not a cure.
"Tammy shouldn't wait to get other treatment and needs support as soon as possible.
Weight recurrence is also common and therefore one has to consider a combination of treatments in order to continue to manage obesity.
Given the latest images, Id recommend that Tammy return to her surgical center and follow up with her surgical team.
She could see a behavioral health provider to assist her in working through her challenges and coming up with a plan.
Most programs have support groups that can be helpful.
Tammy can meet with her dietitian who can assist her in coming up with a food plan that works better for her.
One issue is that if Tammy eats high-fat and/or high-sugar foods there's a possibility she could be suffering 'Dumping Syndrome.'
"While only some people get this, it's where you can suffer flu-like symptoms after eating these food types.
People need a lot of support after surgery and for this reason.
People can experience vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and dizziness when the food dumps too quickly into the small intestine.
"This happens as the food isnt digested properly.
Previously, to guarantee bariatric surgery, Tammy had to hit a specific weight.
The TLC show star headed to her food rehab clinic in Ohio last year in order to clear surgery and reach her goal.
In previous scenes on the reality show, the 1000-Lb. Sisters star weighed 717 pounds.
In the end, Tammy lost 115 pounds naturally, weighing in at 534 pounds to be able to push on with the procedure.
Most patients need to get a pre-surgical psychosocial evaluation done," said Dr. Rachel, who specializes in obesity and weight management.
These would include Tammys psychiatric history, eating, and health behaviors.
They would've looked at Tammys motivation and readiness for surgery.
"They would look at her current stressors and coping mechanisms, as well as potential difficulties that may arise after surgery.
Tammy would have had recommendations such as getting extra mental health or dietary support following this surgery.
Leading up to surgery, theres also a pre-op diet that typically includes a liquid diet consisting of protein shakes and minimal solid foods.
The reason for this is to shrink the liver to make it easier, and safer, for the surgeon to perform the surgery.
Following surgery, its also very important for Tammy to follow the recommendations made by the surgical team.
Typically patients are on clear liquids for the first few days after surgery.
"She would have been on a liquid diet consisting of protein shakes, similar to the pre-op diet, for a few weeks following surgery.
Then they slowly start adding solids in again, starting with pureed foods, and then solids.
The type of diet thats typically recommended for a post-bariatric surgery diet is lean protein and low-fat dairy products.
"It included whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
Patients fill up quickly when they start eating again, so it's important that they focus on their protein first.
"Its also important that they dont eat and drink at the same time.
It's recommended to wait for 30 minutes between eating and drinking.
Recently, Tammy posted a couple of selfies on her Instagram feed, showing a close-up of her slimmed-down face.
With her red hair pulled back, the TLC stars nasal attachment to her oxygen tank could be seen secured on her face.
The snap showed off the effects of Tammys weight loss and the skin sagging under her neck.
One follower commented: "Tammy I was seriously one of your biggest critics.
"Its been amazing seeing your consistency within your health journey.
"Soon enough youll be approved for skin removal and just know we are all rooting for you! Proud of you!"
Bariatric surgery is different from other surgeries as they have a specific recovery time," added Dr. Rachel.
Normally, you would return to the life you had prior to surgery.
Bariatric surgery requires a complete lifestyle change.
Exercise is an important aspect of living a healthy lifestyle.
"We know that people that maintain an active lifestyle do tend to do better in the long term.
Most people who find surgery to be successful lose approximately 50 percent of their excess weight.
"But this doesn't happen immediately and typically is looked at between 18-24 months after surgery.
"Success also goes beyond weight loss, and once again depends on patients like Tammy's specific goals.
