I'm on Ozempic (previously on Zepbound), in part to lose the weight I put on after bariatric surgery a decade ago. My gallbladder was removed in conjunction with the bariatric surgery. None of my physicians have brought this up as any sort of factor to consider, either before I started on the Zepbound or once I began grappling with the side effects of the drug. So it is, in fact, news to me that it might matter.

Same issue for years. However it takes the gall bladder to process fats or you have loose stools. Finally I was told to take Bile Salts (I use Good Apple Nutritionals as they are small). I take 2 once or twice a day before eating and no more loose stools. Many take 2-3 before each meal. Works wonders. Also you might consider taking fiber gummies up to 2-4 g daily. Chew well. Best to you.
