Gallstones Gallstones develop when cholesterol and other substances in the bile
form crystals that become hard stones in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a
small sac located just under the liver. Gallstones can form when too much
cholesterol is in the bile or when the gallbladder does not empty
properly. ByHealthwise Staff
