1000-lb Sisters Star Tammy Slaton Leaves Fans Stunned In Swimsuit After 440-Pound Weight Loss

“I was able to make my lungs strong enough to get my trach [tracheostomy tube for breathing] out, and then recently the doctor cleared me to be off my oxygen machine during the daytime,” she continued.

Tammy was able to forgo being hooked to an oxygen tube and can now walk on her own without the help of a walker.

“Now I only wear my oxygen at night, along with my BiPap machine,” she told the outlet. “I monitor my oxygen levels throughout the day and keep my machine on hand in case I need it.”

“I’m feeling great! I’m thankful to be alive, and it’s fun to be progressing as much as I am,” she added.
