It really depends..I lost a huge amount of weight a bunch of yeas back and didnt develop gall stones.but it is typical for those that do lose weight quickly..you should talk to your primary care doctor.

No not always. Only if you experience attacks that become frequent. My doc said its 50/50 with WLS patients. If not then no point in fixing something that isnt broken + there are some possible nasty side effects from having it removed.

I am not a doc, but you really have no need for your gallbladder and when you lose weight, you tend to have issues with it. I had already had mine, so it was a non-issue with me.
