1000-Lb Sisters' Tammy Slaton Becomes Concerned About Husband Caleb Willingham After Date Night

Earlier this season, fans saw Tammy—who had completed a 14-month stay at weight-loss rehab—share her worries after Caleb didn't reach his target weight of 500 pounds and was then unable to have surgery and get his trach removed.

"It bothers me that he's backsliding," she admitted on the Dec. 26 episode. "But Caleb's very sensitive, so I feel like I can't say anything. It's just, I feel like I have to be strong for him."

And the 37-year-old acknowledged it had been a difficult time.

"I am worried about Caleb," she added. "I think he'll let the depression set in before he hits rock bottom again and gets determined to come home. I feel guilty, sad. I'm numb. Like, I don't know how to feel—overwhelmed, stressed out, just everything."

In July 2023, Tammy announced that Caleb passed away at age 40. A cause of death was not revealed. 

"Rip sweet angel," she wrote on Instagram at the time, "you will forever be missed and loved so much thank you Caleb for showing me real love and happiness."

Tammy has documented her own journey, talking about her weight-loss surgery and posting photos on social media.
