Tammy and her sister Amy have been trying to lose weight since middle school but were unsuccessful. Joining 1000-Lb Sisters has helped the Kentucky natives achieve their weight-loss goals, including checking into a food addiction rehab and following a strict diet.
Why does Tammy Slaton have a lump on her forehead?
Tammy has had a bulging forehead from a tender age, earning her the moniker fat forehead girl. 1000-lb Sisters fans expressed concerns after noticing the bulging size kept changing.
Some opined that the 1000-pound sister's forehead is a lipoma, a benign tumour that is most likely harmless. According to her doctor, the lump results from fat sockets forming because of her obesity, adding that it would continue to fluctuate in size unless she maintains her weight.
