Both of Katia Page’s legs measure four feet in circumference.
But the East Orange resident is beginning to see signs of improvement after undergoing the first sessions in a series of grueling liposuction treatments to help reduce the symptoms of her lipedema — a chronic disorder that causes fatty tissue to accumulate around her lower body.
Page hopes to prevent her legs from growing further before her upcoming wedding, tentatively scheduled for sometime next year.
“The wedding was originally scheduled for February, but then I needed emergency surgery… so I want to get my health under control first,” Page said in an interview with NJ Advance Media.
The 36-year-old is the subject of a new documentary called “My Legs Won’t Stop Growing,” premiering on Monday night at 10 p.m. on TLC.
