Dr. Smith, a member of the cast of ‘1000-Lb Sisters,’ was deeply moved while watching the season premiere this week. Like countless viewers, he experienced overwhelming joy witnessing Tammy Slaton’s departure from the rehab facility and embarking on the next phase of her life.
Dr. Smith, a bariatric surgeon, expressed his admiration for Tammy’s journey on the show. As ‘1000-Lb Sisters’ returned to TLC, the audience was captivated by Tammy’s long-awaited release from rehab after spending 14 months in the facility. This pivotal moment undoubtedly marked a life-altering milestone for the TLC star.
Among the emotionally affected viewers was Dr. Smith, who took to social media to encourage others to tune in to the new season and share kind words for Tammy. He posted an Instagram clip of himself watching the episode, visibly beaming at the screen, and captioned it, “Still an emotional moment for me watching @queentammy86 leave the rehab facility. You’re 100% right @queentammy86… YOU DID IT! Who else is watching the season premiere of @tlc’s #1000lbsisters tonight?”

The sisters sat down for an interview with the publication, discussing their journey thus far.
In the interview, Tammy highlighted a significant change she experienced over the past year: the ability to walk without a walker or being pushed in a wheelchair. While this may seem trivial to some, it was an immense achievement for her personal progress.
