Vannessa Cross Updates Fans After Emergency Hospitalization

1000-Lb Best Friends star Vannessa Cross certainly isn’t out of the woods yet. However, it seems that she’s making progress. The TLC personality shared an update with her Instagram followers.

Right now, she’s heavily relying on her faith to help her through this devastating situation.

“Just want to give everyone an update: Happy Monday to everyone,” Vannessa began her Instagram update. “I am still in the hospital. I get an endoscopy on Thursday, which lets them know if everything is moving in the right direction.”

Vannessa added a second post, requesting prayers and thanking fans for their support thus far.

“I want to thank everyone for your prayers, without God without Faith could not make it through this,” she continued. “Please continue to pray for me and support me as this journey has turned into one of the hardest I’ve dealt with ever. I am fighting for my life and there is so much that I have to change and so much that I have changed. I just ask everyone to please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. Thank you so much. Have a great day.”

Redditors expressed concern over the TLC star. Comments from fans on the platform included:

• “I’m so glad she committed to a lifestyle change and lost the weight because this would have been so much worse! Hope this is the wake up call she needs to quit smoking.”
• “I am sure this will be the wake up call she needs. Even once she is discharged, I am sure she will have a long road to recovery & getting back to normal. Hopefully the mandatory detox she has started while in the hospital will help her get past some of her cravings.”
• “Get well soon Vanessa! I quit smoking over two years ago. People who have never smoked can’t understand just how hard it is to quit!”
• “I hope Vannessa gets well. She makes the show! I love her wit and sass!
