Tammy Slaton Once Attempted Suicide: Here’s What Happened – TV Shows Ace

In addition to her struggles with weight loss, Tammy Slaton has also had an issue with suicide. It was in January of 2018 that the TLC personality became overwhelmed by her health ailments and her weight. It was during an interview withPeople Magazinejust before the release of 1000-Lb Sisterson TLC that Tammy got candid.

When TLC viewers first met Tammy and Amy Slaton, we learned they weighed just over 400 and just over 600 pounds. Amy made a huge strive to lose weight allowing her to have bariatric surgery. She, however, didnt listen to her doctor and became pregnant just months after the surgery. Unsurprisingly, her doctor became concerned she would just put the weight back on because of the pregnancy.

We also learned Tammy hadnt left her home in over six years. With the exception of going to the doctor. This isolation put her in a place of deep depression. The depression became too much. And, she did attempt suicide. Thankfully, she wasnt successful. Moreover, the suicide attempt seemed to be a real eye-opener for her. She didnt want to pass away at 35 or 40 years old after spending nearly a decade of her life never leaving her home.

Tammy and Amy Slaton had a rough childhood. Their mother worked multiple jobs just to pay bills. And, they could never afford truly nutritious food items. Their grandmother and father died when they were very young. The Slaton sisters grew up eating a lot of microwave meals because they were cheap. Fast food and canned goods were also a popular choice. And, then, the weight gain quickly became out of control.

Amy and her sister Tammy Slaton admit theyve been trying to lose weight since they were teenagers. But, they toldPeople Magazine nothing they tried worked out.

Becoming TLC personalities may have just saved the Slaton sisters lives. As far as we know, Tammy Slaton has not made another suicide attempt since 2018. They both head toward happier and healthier lives as Season 2 currently airs on television.

I can go to the store and not worry about my looks because I feel good about myself regardless of what other people say about me. Im beautiful the way I am. Amy Slaton doted toPeople Magazine.

Presently, there isnt a lot of information surrounding Tammy Slatons suicide attempt. Just that it happened in January of 2018. And, she didnt really talk about it until a year later.

Presently, things are pretty serious for Tammy Slaton as her doctor tells her she only has about five years left to live if she doesnt make drastic changes to her health. Fans hope Tammy will take things seriously as they want only the best for Tammy Slaton.
