1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has given fans an update about her health as she continues to recover after contracting coronavirus last year.
The TLC star was hospitalized with Covid-19 last November and was quick to update fans once she was back home.
However, the reality star has been using supplemental oxygen causing fans to monitor how often she is pictured wearing her oxygen tubes.
Taking to TikTok after the reality star shared a selfie of herself without the mask, one fan asked: ‘Omg Tammy your off oxygen? Yay! (sic)’.
Tammy replied: ‘No not completely… I have it incase I do need it, but right now I’m good. Dont have it on. Yea just as needed.’
When the star tested positive for Covid-19, she shared a video on YouTube to explain why she had been hospitalized while experiencing pneumonia.
‘I was in the hospital for just about two weeks,’ she stated. ‘I’m doing great. I mean yes, I’m on oxygen.
‘That’s just to keep my lungs sturdy, strength — I won’t be on oxygen much longer. I was on 15 liters of oxygen and now I’m on three.’
It’s not yet clear how Tammy’s recent health woes have impacted her quest to lose weight alongside her sister Amy.
1000lb Sisters airs on TLC in the US and is available to stream on Discovery+.
