alt Hacker NewsI got pancreatitis from Zepbound, but it was indirect.
Turns out rapid weight loss can cause gallstones, especially if you're genetically predisposed to them. I had one that ended up stuck in the bile duct, causing acute pancreatitis. I had to get my gallbladder removed shortly after and hundreds of stones were found.
I would consider getting an ultrasound since the stones don't just go away when you stop taking the drug.
(Gallbladder removal aside I had no lasting issues and kept the weight off.)
Thanks for sharing, it makes sense. Even before taking Tirzepatide I have had issues my whole life with greasy / fatty stool, and now that I've had reason to research the gall bladder, it does make me wonder if perhaps I also have stones.
