How Does Plenity Work?

Plenity is a non-systemic medication made from cellulose and citric acid, both of which are natural ingredients. The medication works directly in the gastrointestinal tract. When Plenity is taken, the capsules disintegrate in the stomach and release thousands of tiny Plenity particles. These particles can hydrate up to 100 times their original weight, which causes them to occupy a significant amount of stomach volume. As these particles mix with ingested food, they create a strong feeling of fullness. This results in decreased appetite and reduced caloric intake, which can lead to significant weight loss.

How Much Weight Can You Lose With Plenity?

In clinical trials, 59% of people taking Plenity lost an average of 10% of their starting body weight in six months of taking the medication. This came out to an average of 22 lbs lost.

How Soon Can I Expect to Lose Weight?

Many patients taking Plenity have noticed significant weight loss in as little as four weeks of taking the medication. However, it can sometimes take as long as two months to see noticeable results.

How Often Is Plenity Taken?

Plenity is meant to be taken twice per day—once before lunch and once before dinner.

I hit my goal weight ... and I feel fabulous

I had the gastric bypass. I am Type 2 Diabetic and I wanted to gain control of my sugar. I hit my goal weight in about 5 and half months and I feel fabulous. The procedure has completely changed my life for the better because it has empowered me as a middle aged woman that I can really do everything and anything that I want to do. I don't put an age on anything. I don't say I'm too old for something.

Robert's success story

I was tired of the way I looked. I was tired of the way I felt.

I knew if I didn't change something soon, I was going to be in a lot of trouble. The consultation process was a lot easier than I expected. I was met with open arms. I was treated like I was the only patient here. Not only did they answer all of my questions, they had questions for me to make sure I was the right candidate for the surgery. After surgery and that weight started dropping off, my life started changing for the better.

I feel like a completely different person.

I had the gastric sleeve procedure. The driving factor behind me getting this procedure was my health. I didn't feel good physically or mentally. I had joint pains, even standing was difficult sometimes. Emotionally, this surgery completely turned my life around. I have so much more confidence. So much more happiness. I feel like a completely different person. I feel stronger. I feel able to accomplish more.
