Mixed bag: Certain schools of thought feel as though stones imply a need for cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). Gallstones form for several reasons, namely chemistry in our bile (which is made in the liver). People who lose weight rapidly also have a propensity to form gallstones. You may have gallstones but it is unknown unless you had symptoms and an ultrasound to verify. Usually people have RUQ pain.
