US reality star Tammy Slaton haws showed off her extreme weight loss in a new swimsuit photo.
The 1000-Lb Sisters star, who has lost 200kg after undergoing bariatric surgery, showed off her shrinking figure in a blue, mermaid-printed suit while sitting next to her friend, psychic medium Haley Michelle, who wore a black-and-white one-piece.
“Proud of you #tammyslatonweightloss,” the self-proclaimed “Paranormal Princess” captioned the image on Instagram Tuesday, which showed the pair sitting poolside with their feet in the water.
Slaton’s weight-loss journey has been documented on her TLC show, which streams locally on Binge, since last year. Doctors had informed the reality star, who used to weigh upwards of 329kg, that she needed to lose nearly 90kg to be considered for the surgery.
The TV star, 37, was photographed last year walking unassisted — without a walker or oxygen support — after shedding about 136kg.

She later told People that she was “thankful to be alive” after surviving a near-death experience that caused her to be placed on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma.
“Now I only wear my oxygen at night, along with my BiPap (bilevel positive airway pressure) machine,” she explained of her recovery and weight loss.
“I monitor my oxygen levels throughout the day and keep my machine on hand in case I need it.”
Unfortunately, Slaton experienced a setback over the summer when her husband, Caleb Willingham, died at age 40.
“He was my best friend, and I loved him dearly,” she told People. “When I met Caleb, he became my guardian angel, and now he really is watching over me.”
In January, Slaton compared herself to a lesbian following Willingham’s unexpected death.
“I was pansexual, but I kinda stopped messing with guys after my husband passed,” she shared on TikTok. “So, I’m like a lesbian.”
