What is 1000-lb Sisters season 5 about?

In the new season, Tammy Slaton finally bags the opportunity to return home after spending an excruciating 14 months in a rehab facility for weight loss. But she makes a comeback to a house full of chaos. Her sister Amy’s six-year marriage with husband Michael Halterman is in shambles all while Tammy’s husband Caleb Willingham is still at the rehab facility.

He didn’t get the approval to return home after facing trouble in maintaining weight loss at the rehab facility. In a preview of season 5, Tammy disclosed she lost 300 lbs during her stay at the Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Gibsonburg, Ohio. However, leaving Caleb behind was a tough decision for her to make.

Notably, the Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center is the place where Tammy and Caleb first came across each other. Their meeting later blossomed into a marriage which was short-lived after Caleb’s death only months later they tied the knot.

The weight loss transformation has become a family affair this season as the Slaton sisters’ half-siblings Amanda and Misty also step forward to share their intention of undergoing weight loss surgery. They’re witnessed seeking approval for the same medical procedure that Amy underwent in 2020 and Tammy two years later in 2022.

In addition to her health issues, Amy is having trouble running her family with two small children: Glenn Allen, age one, and Gauge Dean, age three. The fact that her marriage to Michael is still failing makes things more stressful. Caleb's health deteriorates in the rehab as he starts gaining weight again, weighing 537 pounds. In July, just a few months later, Caleb passed away.
