I had my gallbladder out 12 years ago at the age of 30. Mine had to go because one of the ducts was blocked. I am "big boned", and am always trying to cut down on the bad food and eat the healthy stuff. Prior to surgery, I was following Slimfast shake- meal replacement(trying to lose the pregnancy weight). The doctor is the one who questioned my use of Slimfast. Any connection there? I don't know.I will never be petite. I eat anything I want without any stomach ailments. You might be able to have the stones removed in a minimally invasive form if it's done before problems errupt. Good Luck!
