Please answer

Answer 1

I had the same thing happen. I didn't have gallstones though, but I did get my gallbladder removed. I was the youngest my surgeon had performed on, but he had done a couple on 15 yr olds.

Answer 2

it's becoming more common altho' still uncommon.  Medical community thinks it might be related to changes in Western diet over the last few decades but there isn't any science to back that up yet.
