[ ] Hi if there is no upper abdominal pain / post meal fullness / discomfort / upper back pain , then you don't require surgery. This is asymptomatic gall stone. In case you develop any of above symptoms then you require surgery. There is no any medicines in present world to dissolve gall bladder stone. Laparoscopic approach is gold standard for gall bladder removal. You can read my article on Practo- Gall bladder stone.Feel free to ask any further quary.

Gall stones can be present in nearly 12-15% of the population and may not be causing any symptoms. If pain abdomen or any other symptom is suspected to be arising from the GB stones surgery is advised otherwise there is no benefit undergoing surgery. In your case your doctor may be advising the same as he thinks your symptoms are not due to GB stones.
