The weight management problem of the Slaton Sisters went far beyond the screen and impacted their life significantly.
When Tammy had a near-death experience, she was restricted from performing day-to-day activities. Amy and Michael supported her wholeheartedly and moved her into their home.
Since then, they have been living together under the same roof. The Slaton Sisters changed their diet regimen and exercise routines to deal with their obesity.
"Having a baby means the world to me; it's everything I've always wanted," shared Amy Slaton in the Season 2 teaser. The 1000-Lb. Sisters star lost 124 pounds undergoing gastric bypass surgery to overcome her weight obstacle and start a family. Within four months of her surgery, she became pregnant.
The couple welcomed baby Gage in November 2020 and are planning to have more kids! "Yes, we want one more baby. We are hoping for a girl. Mike's mom doesn't have a granddaughter," said Amy in an interview.
The Slaton Sisters have garnered a massive fan following of 150K subscribers on Youtube, while Michael Halterman has a separate Youtube channel with less than 3K subscribers. He mainly streams Lego videos or posts videos featuring himself and Amy.
