Hi Artswife3,
Best of luck with your brava journey!
It is not easy, as the endless complains of those of us using it can testify, but it does work. Slowly. Very slowly. Sometimes you lose hope, sometimes the discomfort seems more than what you can take. And the lost of the morning swelling every night can be hard to take. But so far I have gained 2 solid inches from my starting point (I have had to skip 2 nights in a row twice due to travel, and they have stayed), and it has taken me 16 weeks to get that. So I think it really is working for me.
The first 2 weeks are the most uncomfortable ones. After that you kind of get used to sleep with them and the pain (if you have any) tent to get better. Then, at least for me, the main issue was deciding if brava was going to work at all, as there was no noticeable increase of retention at night whatsoever. I was almost sure I had been scammed. But I stuck to it and by week 5 I was seeing some increase at night!
I, like you, lost my breasts after breastfeeding for long time (3 kids, thought, not 6, you are a hero!) so I think you have a good chance of having good results. They are not dramatic results like surgery, but definitively a improvement in shape and fullness. Take pics or get a bra that fits you now to measure your progress, as it is so slow that sometimes it feels like there isn't any!
I hope you have a successful experience. Reading the old posts will give you a idea of what to expect, and tips to deal with the problems.
And please keep us posted in your progress!
Take care
