TLC
“1000-lb Sisters” star Amy Slaton had a surgery that had nothing to do with her weight … instead, it was all about her vision.
TMZ obtained an exclusive clip from an upcoming “1000-lb Sisters” episode showing the moment Amy goes under the knife to correct her lazy eye.
In 2015 Amy posted a YouTube video explaining that she had ocular toxoplasmosis … an infection in the eye caused by a parasite. It is a very rare eye condition she’s had since birth that caused her to become legally blind.
Doctors actually had to operate on both of Amy’s eyes … and her husband, Brian Lovvorn, was super nervous when he talked to a film crew while waiting for the surgery to finish up … revealing he was most concerned about Amy possibly not waking up from the anesthesia.
Fortunately, the surgery was a success … and Amy’s got a new look … and some more confidence.
The full episode airs March 3 at 9 PM ET/PT on TLC.
