Tammy Slaton is still alive and is remaining in good spirits while working on her fitness goals in an Ohio-based rehab, where she has been since leaving the hospital in November 2021.
As of February 1, 2022, the reality star was still wearing a trach during her stay in the medical facility.
Tammy previously revealed that she was hospitalized because of carbon dioxide poisoning in November 2021, “which led to pneumonia, and I was septic,” she said in a TikTok video at the time. “After I got off life support, they put a trach in, so, yeah. I’m trying to get used to that.”
Tammy was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance over the ordeal, and doctors decided the best course of action was to put her on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma.
“I’m doing better day by day,” the TV star continued while sharing an update. “I’m supposed to be getting out of the hospital in a couple of days. I’m going to another nursing rehab to get my strength back and lose more weight.”
Fans watched the health scare play out on the season 3 finale of 1000-Lb Sisters, which aired on Monday, January 31.
Tammy previously had to be hospitalized due to contracting COVID-19 and pneumonia back in 2020, leading her to need an oxygen tank. Although she later recovered, Tammy’s health and weight struggles are not yet over.
