What Tammy Slaton’s Disappointing News Means For Weight Loss Journey
Tammy Is One Step Away From Achieving Her Dream Body
Tammy often gets comments about the loose skin on her chin as fans ask her to do away with it to reveal a sharp and shapely jawline. However, Tammy also needs the loose skin from the rest of her body to be removed so she can finally flaunt her new slimmed-down figure. However, it appears Tammy has more weight to lose before she could even qualify for the operation. The procedure in itself is a risky one. Tammy was okay with risking her life to get rid of her sagging, excess skin.
Tammy has expressed jealousy at how her sister Amy didn’t need to get any of her skin removed after weight loss. Amy who also underwent bariatric surgery simply shrunk as she lost weight. Amy did not need any reshaping done to her body as her skin and tissue didn’t experience any stretching. On the other hand, the stretched skin has lost elasticity and cannot adjust to Tammy’s slim body. Tammy will have to commit to a healthy lifestyle for longer so she can keep off the lost pounds and lose more weight while she waits it out.
