Big Gallstone: Likely yes if you are prone to high triglycerides and cholesterol. A stone that size might have to be taken out "the old fashioned way",or one of the incisions extended when trying to grab the gallbladder. I've seen one as big as a golfball, tough to get out through a tiny hole! If you are symptomatic, I'd get it out ASAP before it gets any bigger! Good luck! I only had sludge-thought I was dying
