The star of 1000-lb Sisters, Amy Slaton, added a new pet to the family, and it just may be a cry for help. The show, which premiered in 2020, centers around the weight-loss journeys of 36-year-old Amy and her 37-year-old sister, Tammy Slaton. The first time Amy stepped on a scale during the show’s inaugural episode, she weighed in at over 400 pounds. Desperately wanting to get healthy enough to have children, Amy had bariatric surgery, and dropped 125 pounds.
