The surgery isn’t without risks, but the1000-lb Sistersseason 5stars made it through the procedures with flying colors. Since then, the pounds have just been melting away.

Misty, Amanda & Amy Were Seen Out & About While Filming
They Posed For A Photo At A Coffee Shop
In June, Reddit accountu/tacobelliniposted a photo of Amy, Amanda, and Misty pausing for a photo at a local coffee shop while filming1000-lb Sistersseason 6. The caption reads, “A local coffee shop posted a picture of Amy, Amanda, and Misty. According to the coffee shop, they stopped in while filming at a different location. I do wonder where Tammy is…” Though it’s possible that Tammy took the photograph, it seems more likely that she simply wasn’t there.
The Reddit post has 2.7K likes.
The most striking thing about the photo ishow much thinner Amanda and Misty look. Amanda stood tall and slim in the center, flanked by her sisters, and wearing athletic wear and strappy sandals. On her left, Misty looks even slimmer, rocking her black t-shirt and shorts, with her once long hair lopped off into a shoulder-length bob. Misty’s shirt reads,“I don’t have a bad attitude, I have a personality you can’t handle.“This could be the Slaton family motto.
Misty & Amanda’s Weight Loss Journeys
They Both Changed Their Lives
Misty had surgery in March 2023, andDr. Eric Smithposted a clip ofMisty going in for surgeryat Instagram. The caption reads, in part, “Did you know that bariatric surgery can cause remission of type 2 diabetes in patients?” In the footage, Misty’s brother, Chris, is there with Misty in the hospital until she’s wheeled into the procedure room. Before losing weight, Misty was taking multiple diabetes medications to keep her blood sugar in a healthy range. Since Misty had bariatric surgery,she lost enough weight to stop needing the medication.
Being healthy enough to regulate her blood sugar levels without medicine is a huge life-changing milestone that Misty deserves to be proud of.
Unlike her other siblings, Amanda never struggled with her weight growing up. She was always the thin one. Everything changed after she had children. Amanda reportedly already had bariatric surgery for the first time in 2014, long before appearing on1000-lb Sisters.Amanda lost over 300 poundsafter the surgery but found herself wanting to lose even more weight. In March 2024,Amandaposted a TikTok announcing it was the first anniversary of her surgery, or “surgeversary.” She looked dramatically thinner than when she first appeared on the show.
She’s Struggling
Amy was also in the photo, but, unlike Amanda and Misty, Amy doesn’t seem to have lost any more weight since the1000-lb Sistersseason 5 finale. After going through an emotional divorce from Michael Halterman,Amy’s struggled with her mental health. She is currently a single mother raising her two sons, Gage and Glenn Halterman. She got professional help and was diagnosed withacute stress disorder, depression and bipolar disorder. Amanda has publicly stated that she is prioritizing her mental health over losing weight right now, and that sounds like a smart strategy.

Film Crew Sightings
Though1000-lb Sistersseason 6 has yet to be confirmed by TLC, there have been multiple sightings of a film crew following the Slatons around. In addition to the aforementioned coffee shop sighting, in April, Reddit useru/hereforthelols1999posted photos ofthe Slatons in the United Kingdom. The user posted one photo that was obviously of Tammy and another that was clearly Amy. According to the original poster,the Slaton sisters were seen in central London and spotted walking around with a film crew.
Though it’s unclear whether the Slatons were filming1000-lb Sistersseason 6, that’s certainly the most likely option.
All the Slaton siblings are expected to be back for1000-lb Sistersseason 6, and this season is expected to have a decidedly different spirit. The season will mark the first time thatAmy and Tammy will both be single women at the same time, which could change the entire show. Amanda was recently unceremoniously dumped by her ex-boyfriend, RJ, so she’ll be looking for love alongside her sisters. It’s unclear when the new season can be expected, but judging from past premieres, winter 2024 is most likely.
