Bride to be exclaims: 'My legs won't stop growing'!

A bride-to-be is undergoing gruelling treatment to decrease her 4ft-wide legs. Katia Page, 36, suffers with Lipoedema - a chronic disorder that causes fatty tissue to accumulate in mass around the lower body. Miss Page, from New Jersey, U.S., has started a series of liposuction sessions to prevent her legs from growing further.
She said: 'Before I had any surgeries, my legs were like 50 to 54 inches.'
Early signs from Miss Page's treatment show positive results with the swelling in her legs gradually decreasing. But Doctor Lizzie Gottsegen, who is managing Miss Page's progress, knows her patient still has a long way to go. She said: 'There are not many therapists or doctors for that matter that are even aware of this disease.
'If Katia has no surgery, if she had no bandaging, if she had no will to move - Katia would be dead very soon.'

Miss Page added: 'The swelling was at one point so bad that my ankles would be literally hanging all the way over my foot. My biggest fear is becoming immobile because once I can't move, I know this disease will progress and I could lose my life.'
Miss Page experiences a daily struggle with people assuming she is overweight because of an unhealthy diet, rather than her life-threatening disease that she can do nothing to prevent. But no matter what negativity is thrown her way, she still has her dream wedding to look forward to.
'I'm smart, I'm educated, I can cook and I'm a good catch! You'd be a fool not to want me,' she said.
'I'm engaged and we're going to get married soon. And to be honest with you, he loves me anyway, but I just want to look my best.'
By the time Miss Page discovered the true diagnosis of her disease just a year ago, she was already at stage four and her legs were around 4ft wide. She said: 'It started getting noticeable when I was about seven, but it really started exploding when I got into my early 20s.
Miss Page's Godmother, Diana Mendheim, knows exactly how much this wedding means and believes it is vital for her to have something special to look forward to. Miss Page's most recent bout of surgery did not go to plan, with Doctor David Greuner having to stop proceedings earlier than expected due to a substantial loss of blood.
He said: 'She'll probably require 10-12 procedures to really get her down to a manageable level over the course of about three to four years.
But I'm relatively happy so far with what we have accomplished with a seemingly insurmountable task.'
