I have had the Flexitouch systems since February and I love it. I have full body LE, so have attatchments for all 4 limbs. The price for me, which is higher than most because of all of the limbs involved was over 10K, insurance covered mine and I had to pay 20% of approved cost. They have payment plans available with no interest for 2 years or will work with you on payment options. My insurance is Anthem FEP PPO. The results and comfort would have been worth it to me if I had to pay the full cost.
Since I have full body, it was impossible to do MLD on my entire body. I also have Reid sleeves for all limbs and still use them at night, in various configurations(R arm, L leg, etc) I do 2 limbs each morning and then 2 limbs at night. Each limb takes an hour. The part I like the best is that all limbs include pieces for your hip, butt, and stomach, so these parts actually get some attention during the treatment. The pieces you put on are very comfortable when the machine is on. The pieces have chambers that run up and down the garments and the air chambers fill up, deflat, fill up the next, and so on. It feels like a light massage and is so comfortable I actually sleep when I using it. If you need anymore info, please feel free to ask me.
