Could Emsculpt cause a gall bladder attack?

Scout 123
I had a series of Emsculpt in 2021. 1 day after my 4th Emsculpt I had a gall bladder attack and had to go to the hospital. I have never before nor after had a gall bladder episode. A different tech did my Emsculpt on my 4th treatment and I remember that her placement felt different/lower on my abdomen than before. I didn't go back to finish the series because I was scared. I liked the results, though. Could improper Emsculpt placement cause a gall bladder attack? This was regular Emsculpt and not Neo.
