She\u2019d been considering the surgery and working with weight-loss specialists for about three years before the procedure in October 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Dolfin, on the other hand, says she \u201cnever really thought about it\u201d until she saw her sister\u2019s results.\u201cI saw how well she was doing on it and losing all the weight, and I thought, \u2018If she can do it, I can do it better!\u2019\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe both were heavyset when I got my surgery,\u201d King says. \u201cThen when I started losing weight, we weren\u2019t getting the \u2018You look like twins\u2019 reactions. We were getting \u2018You look like sisters.\u2019 I think that\u2019s what motivated her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dolfin underwent her own procedure, a gastric bypass, with the same surgeon in October 2022 \u2014 almost exactly a year after her sister.<\/p>\n<p>At first, Dolfin acknowledges there was a bit of friendly sibling rivalry over their weight loss. But as they each reached the 100-pound-loss mark, there wasn\u2019t much to compete over.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let the sisterly competition fool you, though \u2014 the pair are still closer than many siblings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we were teenagers, we were at each other\u2019s throats,\u201d Dolfin admits. \u201cNow we can\u2019t go a day without talking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, their families share a home in Lacey, including Dolfin\u2019s husband, one of her four children and King\u2019s fiance.<\/p>\n<p>And both are enjoying the health and energy that has come with weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>The migraines that had begun to plague her before surgery are gone, King says, and she no longer has to take medication to keep her blood pressure under control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was exhausted all the time,\u201d she says. \u201cJust walking was hard. I didn\u2019t like the way I felt. I hated the way I looked in pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dolfin, meanwhile, had been treating sleep apnea, high blood pressure and prediabetes before surgery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went from having to take medication every day to not having to take any medications,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s the best thing that I\u2019ve ever done, the best choice I\u2019ve ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>King agrees, adding that her weight had begun to feel like a hindrance to her independence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can sit down and tie my shoes without any help. I can get off the ground.
