1000 Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton is happiest because she is about to get her first skin removal surgery. She has struggled with her weight a lot over the years. After asking for the operation last year, she faced rejection from her new surgeon, Dr. Rubin. Dr. Smith recommended him, and she took her entire family to meet him in his Pennsylvania clinic.
Tammy’s secret vaping would have infected her wounds if the doctor and his team had approved her for the procedure. Nicotine slows down the healing process. They asked her to slightly increase her protein intake and drop vaping before undergoing it. Therefore, it got scheduled for later, making the reality star storm out of the room in a rage.
