My sister's best friend just had her gallbladder removed after losing about 40 pounds. Apparently weight loss can cause gallbladder problems. She had terrible pains all of a sudden, went to the emergency room, and had surgery. She's recovering now.

That's what happened to me. I'll say it again because I know there are people on this site who are currently losing weight. Gallstones are generally bile salts and cholesterol. The only place cholesterol is found is in animal flesh and fat. When your body breaks down the fat in your body, the processed cholesterol is overwhelming (imagine eating a couple pounds of pure animal fat per week...that's what your body is doing, in effect!) The cholesterol binds with bile salts and creates stones. Just something for all the "losers" (as I lovingly like to call us) out there.
