1000-lb Sisters: Amanda Halterman Announced The New Season Amid Health Scare (I Think She'll Get More Screen Time)

Amanda Halterman recently announced the premiere date of 1000-lb Sisters season 7, and I couldn't be more excited. The show is technically about Amy Slaton, 37, and Tammy Slaton, 38, but I'm hoping 44-year-old Amanda gets more screen time this coming season. She's been one of the most entertaining aspects of the show since she made her television debut during 1000-lb Sisters season 4.

The show's last season finished airing just a few months ago, so it was a surprise to learn that 1000-lb Sisters season 7 would premiere on April 15. It may have been announced elsewhere, but the first time I heard about it was when Amanda posted the big day. I can't wait to see how she looks, and I hope she gets more screen time this season.

Amanda's Still Dealing With Her Health Scare

Awaiting A Diagnosis & Treatment Plan

Maybe watching 1000-lb Sisters season 7 will take Amanda's mind off her recent health scare. Amanda recently posted an Instagram video taken in a hospital room. After passing out in her living room, Amanda was rushed to the ER, and admitted tothe hospitalfor three days.

"For now we wait for a diagnosis and treatment plan," read her caption.

I think having more of a focus on AManda in season 7 will perspective to her current health struggles.

Amanda's Been Spending Lots Of Time In Medical Settings

She's Had Multiple Surgeries

Amanda's been in hospitals a lot lately. In addition to her two bariatric surgeries, she also had knee surgery during 1000-lb Sisters season 6. Being laid up on her back in recovery made it impossible to lose weight. She only lost 31 pounds after her second bariatric surgery. This was in stark contrast to the incredible results after her first surgery. In January, Amanda posted Instagram photos before and after that 2017 surgery.

"Yall Ready For The New Season April 15"

Amanda recently posted about 1000-lb Sisters season 7 on Instagram. She posted a photo of herself, alongside a caption that reads, "Yall ready for the. New season April 15th." Ican't wait to see how all the Slaton siblings look during their continued weight-loss journeys, especially after Chris Combs had skin removal surgery. After her entertaining last season, I hope Amanda gets more screen time.
