1000 Lb. Best Friends star Vannessa Cross is ready to share her weight loss journey during the season 3 premiere and “hopes” to be approved for skin removal surgery.
“Since I’ve lost the weight, I’m physically different, mentally different. I cannot believe I can put my socks on. I reach monumental goals every day that people of regular and average size have lived with every day of their life,” Vannessa, 46, said in a teaser clip TLC shared via Instagram on Sunday, October 20. “I can just stand up and walk, getting out of the bed. I don’t have to have a bedside toilet. I don’t have to wear diapers anymore.”
Vannessa went on to share her love for fitness and detailed how her life is “so different” now that she instilled healthy habits in her daily life.
“My confidence is getting stronger but I do feel way more self-conscious when it comes to all my skins, all my flab, Miss Betsy,” Vannessa said in a confessional, later adding, “I only name Betsy May, I guess that’s kind of sad that the only role that got named was her but she is predominant – everything the way it looks. It’s not sexy. It’s not cute. Let’s keep it 100. It’s very like, I just feel like an old woman because of everything. So, I’m hoping and hoping and hoping to get approved for skin surgery in the next few weeks. I have been maintaining my weight so my legs are rubber right now.”
Under the comments section of the post, one fan admitted that they have “never been more excited to see a stranger get their skin cut off.”
“I literally only watch this show because of her. She’s the only one that has made such a big difference and I’m still surprised that the doctors will not help her get her skin removed,” a second person wrote.
“Bless her heart, she is so small underneath the skin,” a third fan commented. “Good for her for never stopping and if I was a plastic surgeon I would hands down do that work for free for her!”
Although the season has yet to premiere, Vannessa told People that she was approved for skin removal surgery in a story published on October 18.
“Life has changed immensely for me, from being 450 and now I am under 200 lbs. I actually go to the gym. I actually eat extremely healthy foods. I never saw myself living a healthy lifestyle and here I am,” the reality star told the outlet.
Vannessa admitted that she plans to continue to go under the knife to achieve her desired look, including one that will complement her behind.
“I’m a little bit addicted to plastic surgery because my healing was extremely easy and painless. So my next goal is a BBL. I want my Brazilian butt lift,” she continued to the outlet. “You know, white girl, no butt ever in my life. Mommy and daddy didn’t have butt, so I’m going to need my plastic surgeon to give me one of them pretty little round booties.”
