When the unscripted show premiered in 2020, Amy weighed over 400 pounds, and Tammy weighed over 600 pounds. The show got its memorable title from Amy and Tammy, as they weighed a combined 1,000 pounds. Since then, both sisters have had gastric bypass surgery and are slimmer than ever. Though Amy has achieved so much, she’s never been perfect when it comes to diet and exercise. While Tammy’s been focused on her health and fitness, Amy recently made some food choices that have me scratching my head.. Is the 1000-lb Sisters season 6 star risking her gastric bypass surgery?

Amy Struggled With Weight Her Whole Life

She Wanted To Have Children

Like the other Slaton siblings, Amy struggled with her weight her whole life. Their mother worked a lot, so the siblings were left to feed themselves. They didn’t make the best food choices. By the time she made her television debut on 1000-lb Sisters, Amy weighed 408 pounds. She was a newlywed at the time and desperately wanted to have children, but her weight was standing in her way. After having surgery, Amy dropped 125 pounds, and went on to have two healthy sons, Gage and Glenn Halterman.

Amy Had Weight-Loss Surgery

Gastric Bypass

During the first episode of 1000-lb Sisters, Amy stepped on a scale to find that she weighed 408 pounds. She cried because it had been a long time since she weighed herself and hadn’t realized she had gained so much weight. She was also upset she needed an industrial scale for her weigh-in. Amy went in for gastric bypass surgery with Dr. Charles Proctor in 2019. According to the Mayo Clinic, gastric bypass divides a patient’s stomach, sending all food to a reduced small pouch, which limits the amount of food consumed.

Amy’s Eating Fast Food

“Trying Mr Beast Burger”

Since having weight-loss surgery and giving birth to her sons, Amy has mostly maintained her weight, but she hasn’t lost as much weight as she should have. When she stepped on the scale during 1000-lb Sisters season 6, the scale read 237 pounds. Overall, Amy lost 169 pounds. She wants to have skin removal surgery to address the excess skin, but her doctor wants her to lose another 30 pounds first. Amy’s recent social media posts make me wonder if that’s possible.

Another comment read, “please be careful and remember you have Diabetes Hun you don’t wanna Gain weight back,” to which Amy responded, “I never had diabetes and one hamburger not going to make me gain 200lb !
