Wow breast4success, your results sound incredible! Congratulations! I really hope they are permanent for you. I'll be following along!
I did go ahead and trial higher pressure. I didn't want to invest any more money at this point, so what I've done is I will attach the pump, wait until it settles at -20mmHg and turns off, then disconnect the pump and suck extra air out until the domes are as tight as I can tolerate. Then, I tie the tubing off with a hair tie. I've gotten a lot better at sleeping on my back, and I can manage to keep the suction throughout the night. Sometimes I still have the tiniest amount of residual swelling left when I put the domes back on, so I'm hoping that's a good sign. The swelling all dissipates when I have the domes off for more than 7 hours, and I can still see I have not gained any tissue yet. I actually started to get really discouraged at the start of week 11, and I developed a new sore on my sternum that was becoming increasingly painful. I started to think seriously about quitting... 10 weeks of 16 hour days and no sign that I was making any progress. Halfway through week 11 I was scheduled to take a long weekend trip, and decided not to bring my domes. However, when I got back, I saw breast4success's update with her amazing results and I suddenly regretted my choice! I ended up continuing with the program after I got home. In all, I ended up taking three days off from EveBra. Luckily, the sore was able to heal during that time. I wonder how much I set myself back. 3 weeks maybe? So, here I am in week 12 continuing with my 16 hour days and higher pressure. I wish there was information available about whether EveBra works for everyone, or if there are people who don't respond. I'd like to know whether I'm doing this all for nothing!
