For the first time ever, I’m sharing my complete, unfiltered story — from silent suffering to life-changing surgery. This is more than just a medical procedure. It’s the beginning of reclaiming a body - and a life - that lipedema tried to take from me. After years of struggling with heavy, painful legs, and living in a body that didn’t match how I felt inside, I was finally diagnosed with Stage 3 lipedema at 41 years old. For decades, I was misdiagnosed, dismissed, and told to simply “lose weight.” I blamed myself. I hid. I believed I was the problem. But the truth is — I was living with a common chronic, progressive disease that no one around me recognized despite the fact that 1 in 9 women suffer with lipedema. In this full documentary, you’ll walk alongside me through one of the most emotional and empowering experiences of my life: from facing the truth of my diagnosis, preparing mentally and physically for surgery, choosing Dr. Burgos and the incredible team at Lipemedical in Madrid, navigating the raw reality of surgery day, and living through the highs, lows, and brutal honesty of post-op recovery. You’ll see the first glimpses of change - the disbelief of seeing my knees again after 20 years, and the moments of hope that reminded me why I started. Lipedema is not just about appearance; it’s a chronic, progressive disease that causes pain, swelling, mobility issues, and emotional scars that run deep. Surgery is not a cosmetic choice - it’s a fight for mobility, for dignity, and for life.
I am endlessly grateful to Dr. Burgos and the Lipemedical team / drburgosdelaobra_lipedema for giving me more than just new legs - they gave me a new beginning.
Thank you for being here, for witnessing my story, and for helping raise awareness for the millions of women living who are often living in silence with lipedema. Healing isn’t linear — but it’s happening, one step, one kick, and one bold move at a time.

While Lipemedical paid for advertising to promote their clinic, everything shared in this documentary is entirely my honest experience. I was free to document this journey with complete honesty — the good, the tough, and the real moments.
