Coupled with the weight loss surgery, King has been on an intense exercise and diet plan for the last four years.
While on the TLC reality series, King previously stated, “I will just eat till I’m dead. A normal day for me is to wake up around 12, figure out something I am going to eat immediately, [and then] TV, video games, bed. It’s not a lot of activity.”

While filming on the series, King also shared that he was always obese, and known as a “big kid.” By the time he graduated from high school, he had weighed 300 pounds.
Following graduation, King went on to work inside of various restaurants, which would only worsen his eating habits. Years later, he ended up moving in with his father, where he would eventually go on to gain more weight, reaching a whopping 845 pounds.
While living with his father and gaining so much weight, King even admitted that normal everyday activities had become a struggle, like bathing, and even wiping his behind — something his dad would have to help him do.
He said, “I need his help a little bit to clean myself, you know, wiping just my a— because I can’t reach everything on my back, and I can’t reach everything below me. Because I am a bigger guy with, like, folds and flaps, I have to move around, almost like a pig in a way, and wallow and roll over to get the back of my leg. I have to lift up literal pieces of skin. It’s just a super difficult process.”
