I 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.) | ||

Wouldn't that be cholecystitis (and a cholecystectomy), not pancreatitis? | ||

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. | ||
