Susan O’Hara is from Yukon, Oklahoma, and is the founder of LegsLikeMine, LLC. Susan has suffered from lipedema for more than two decades, starting with the birth of her first child in 2001. Her condition progressed slowly through various hormonal changes, but flared to a new level with a significantly stressful work-related event that served as the catalyst for seeking surgical treatments. Like many, Susan went undiagnosed for almost 20 years, suffering pain and slowly losing mobility. Despite diet, exercise, and having two weight-loss surgeries, the condition persisted. After numerous MRIs, knee surgeries, x-rays, and a bout with tendonitis, a technician asked Susan who was treating her LYMPHEDEMA, and this got her connected to support groups, who actually saw her pictures and suggested she had LIPEDEMA. Susan’s informal, online diagnosis allowed her to begin research, finding specialists and therapists familiar with lipedema, who were able to clinically diagnose and provide treatment. Through her research she discovered compression wraps and massage techniques to help manage her condition. In 2021, Susan had three Lymph-Sparing Lipectomy surgeries, and incorporated a regular swimming routine into her life to help manage lipedema. Susan has struggled for years to find boots, shoes and clothes that fit and help highlight features other than her legs. She has dedicated a portion of her social media presence to help others with the condition continue to find and showcase their own beauty and belonging by sharing her fun ideas in fashion in her own, fun, way. LegsLikeMine and its products and presence are a work of passion and necessity in hopes that they will get information to women who badly need help and who may not know they have the painful fat condition called lipedema.
