If you are not : Having any symptoms, this is probably an incidental finding. If you are having upper abdominal pain following oily or greasy foods, you might need referral to a GI specialist or surgeon. If this is only an incidental finding, not to worry.

Do you have pain: Gall bladder polyps smaller ones could be observed if you have a polyp of 2 cm will have higher incidence of cancer , you must know the size of it in order to observe or to remove the gall bladder. If you have no pain young need surgery for sludge , go for a surgical consult.
