1000-lb Best Friends star says she is 'extremely self conscious' about her body
Vannessa Cross has revealed her self doubts over her body after the reality TV star shed a huge amount of weight.
The 1000-lb Best Friends star, 44, opened up on her desire to have surgery to remove her "friend" - her excess skin.
In a trailer for the latest episode, posted to TLC's Instagram page, Vannessa speaks of her excitement at seeing her doctor to see whether she can have the op she is desperate for.
Vannessa told the doc her "hanging" is making her self-conscious as she showed off the looseness on her underarms and slapped what she called her "fat wings".
She is then seen showing off her loose skin that she had tucked into her trousers, saying her new friend goes "everywhere with me now" before labelling it "embarrassing".

She shoots the surgeon a look of disappointment as he shares his decision and later commented on the post: "I did not want to hear that," along with a crying face emoji.
However, fans of the show and Vannessa were quick to reply to keep her spirits up and make her know how well she is doing.

And another urged her to get a second opinion, saying: "Not ready?? How much more does she need to lose?! Good Lord!! She did so well and she should have the surgery. She can have it.
"She can slow her weight loss to prevent skin sag now. She's at this point now. After a HUGE loss you get this result. Come on. Taking her down to a bone is a bit much. She will be thin after you take all the hang."
