‘1000-Lb Best Friends’ Vannessa Encourages Tammy Slaton
It appears that TLC stars Vannessa Cross and Tammy Slaton have struck up a sweet friendship with one another. Online, fans have noticed the women interact with one another on social media. In particular, Vannessa frequently cheers Tammy on and compliments her Instagram photos.
Onscreen, Tammy Slaton is having an incredibly difficult time being turned down for her skin removal surgery. But Vannessa is there to support her. See what the TLC star had to say in a new interview.
Vannessa Cross Wants Tammy Slaton To Succeed
On this season of 1000-Lb Sisters, Tammy Slaton feels defeated after a plastic surgeon turned her away for skin removal surgery. But even so, fans sincerely want her to keep pushing forward. And so does Vannessa Cross.
Vannessa Cross lives in Georgia while Tammy Slaton and her family reside in Tennessee. They’ve never met, but they support each other in any way that they possibly can.
“We started reaching out a little over a year and a half ago before she ever even started really losing weight,” Vannessa told Access Hollywood in a new interview.
She went on to say that she occasionally sends positive messages to Tammy telling her how sincerely proud she is and how amazing Tammy looks. But more than that, Vannessa doesn’t want Tammy to give up after receiving a disappointing “no” from the plastic surgeon. Earlier in the interview, Vannessa admitted two plastic surgeons turned her away before getting approved for skin removal surgery. More than anyone, she understands how Tammy feels.
Vannessa Cross Vows To Support Her Friend No Matter What
Even though the road to skin removal is long and arduous, Vannessa believes in Tammy.
“I would love to be there for her more. She’s doing really good,” the reality star added. “I’m so proud of her and Amy too. I think they’re doing amazing with their weight loss. Really, all of them are doing good, but honey, Tammy is blowing it out of the water. And I don’t want her to get discouraged just because that plastic surgeon said she needed to wait a certain amount of time.”
The TLC star shared that people in their shoes generally want instant gratification. They’ve worked so hard to lose weight that being denied skin removal can feel overwhelmingly defeating. Vannessa wants Tammy to keep going and not get stuck in her own head.
“So I was just trying to let her know that, ‘Hey, hey, don’t lose motivation. Please continue going because that plastic surgery is going to happen. That skin removal is gonna happen.”
