44 yrs, gallstone, w/o pain w gas and cholesterol over limit. any chance to continue life w/o remove gb at elder age?

Yes: You can wait until you experience symptoms from the gallstone. Not everyone with a gallstone will develop symptoms, so if you elect to wait, that is fine. If you have any GI symptoms though, make sure you let your doctor know you have a known gallstone.
