Gall stones - History

Gall stones - History

i am 29 years female. This post is on behalf of my friend.
She is 25 years, had gall stones and her gall bladder is removed because it is full of stones.
I wonder how a 25 year un-married lean girl got gall stones.
How many years it take to form gall stones to get symptoms? I heard it will take 10-15 years.
I dont know about other members of her family who had this problem.
Can gall stones form  genetically / hereditary ?
What are the post gall bladder removal side effects?
Please explain
