Tammy Slaton has vowed to not let her body ‘defeat her’ after her fatal health scare.
The 1000Lb Sisters star was rushed to hospital last year, in the season three finale, after she stopped breathing at a weight loss facility – leaving her family fearing for her life.
Her loved ones were told her body started ‘shutting down’, with doctors suggesting that they should start preparing for the worst.
Thankfully, she woke up and was able to recover enough to return to the rehab center, with the upcoming fourth series set to focus on her recuperation – and her surprise wedding to Caleb Willingham.
Speaking in a new interview, the 36-year-old revealed that she has learned a lot and changed since those tough scenes were filmed.
‘My near-death experience has taught me not to take life for granted,’ she told People Magazine. ‘I now live my life how I want to and not how others want me to.

‘It has also mellowed me out. I try harder to not get mad as easily and try to figure out a way around the situation.
‘I’m grabbing the bull by the horns and taking control of my life again and not letting my body defeat me.’
‘I told y’all that this wasn’t the end of me,’ she added. ‘The new and improved Tammy is on the way.’
