1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has pregnancy scare amid scary health concern
Tammy Slaton opened up about her dreams of becoming pregnant during a visit to the doctor, but she ended up revealing a worrying health concern.
The 1000-lb Sisters star went to an OB-GYN office to see if she could conceive a child and "make sure everything's healthy". In a clip shared by TLC on Instagram, however, Tammy shocked the doctor with a bombshell about her reproductive health.
The 37-year-old explained how she had previously had an IUD put in, a type of birth control which can last between three to eight years depending on the brand. However, Tammy said she was supposed to have the device removed back in 2016, but still had it seven years later.

Tammy also admitted it was the last time she had been to see a doctor about her contraception. She explained: "I was just really big and it was hard for them to get it out."
The doctor revealed it could be really dangerous for Tammy to keep the IUD inside of her. She explained to the cameras: "What's most concerning to me is if she should get pregnant and an IUD is in place, it can cause premature delivery or even foetal death so if she's been sexually active with an IUD in place that's not effective, we probably ought to try and get that out."
The doctor was worried for Tammy (tlc/Instagram)Tammy said there was "a slight chance I might be pregnant now," but when the doctor asked if she was sexually active, the reality star shook her head. Tammy explained how her husband, the late Caleb Willingham, was living in a different state.
She opened up about her sex life in a confessional. Speaking to the cameras, Tammy said: "I know being bigger has disadvantages with sex, but I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I'm handy capable not handy capped."
Tammy was asked why she thought she might be pregnant, to which she explained she was craving unusual things. As an example, she said she was "craving water".
However, her sister Amy wasn't convinced. In a confessional, she said: "B***h, you ain't pregnant you're thirsty. You're just thirsty b***h, go drink some water. It'll be alright." The doctor also said Tammy hadn't been ovulating, meaning she wouldn't have been able to get pregnant.
