When they were born, doctors told their parents that they would likely only live a few days - but they have defied all odds and are now thriving. Carmen and Lupita explained to the outlet that because they 'share' so many 'internal structures,' separation surgery is way too risky for them As babies, they spent years in physical therapy learning how to sit up and work together to use their legs - and when they were four-years-old, they took their first steps together. Now, 22 years on, they certainly haven't let sharing one body slow them down - and the two of them have expertly adapted to living life with one another. Both of the sisters have two arms but only one leg each, which means that Carmen - who has control of the right leg - has to do the driving. 'We go to movies and concerts (sharing one seat) and we travel on airplanes,' Carmen explained. 'Last year, we went to California and we’ve also flown to Texas.' According to the twins, they have even found ways to ensure that they get much-needed alone time despite being stuck together 24/7. 'Sometimes at the end of the day, we’re just exhausted and we don’t want to talk,' Carmen admitted.

I have my laptop to do schoolwork, and Lupita will put on headphones and listen to music or go on her phone. 'We’ve been conjoined our whole life, so it’s not like we miss our independence. It's all we've ever known, right?' While they insisted that they're 'happy just the way they are,' they did admit that it's 'not all rainbows and sunshine.'

One difficulty that comes being conjoined is finding clothes that fits their body - but a neighbor has been sewing shirts and dresses for them since they were five. And luckily, agreeing on what to wear is easy since the two women 'have the same' sense of style. They've also faced trouble in their love lives. While Lupita is asexual, Carmen started looking for love a few years ago on the dating app Hinge, but she admitted that she received a lot of messages from 'guys with fetishes' after listing that she was a conjoined twin on her profile.
