If symptoms of indigestion or pain, gall bladder needs to be removed. Smaller stones cause more trouble.So I would recommend removal.
Have a hemolytic workup done.
Gall stones form with poorly functioning Gall bladder so the whole gall bladder needs removal Your bile duct will replace its function.
Gall stones can complicate future pregnancy .it's a day care procedure.Full recovery in a week .
