Can I do anything to prevent this?

I am only 5 weeks post-op, but am a little concerned about the possibility of having my gall bladder removed later on (I've never had any problems with it). I know that many posties get gall stones and end of having the gall bladder removed. What exactly causes this and is there anything I can do to try to prevent it? My friend had her gall bladder taken out after 5 1/2 months post-op and had more pain from it than her WLS. It just worries me....
