A member asked:

Yes: Surgery is the only option. The endoscopic approach is used for more than 90% of cholecystectomies today. Many are done as outpatient or overnight stay. Doing it electively lets you schedule it at a convenient time for your schedule. Good luck.

Surgery: At your age eventually you will have problems. Every patient has to be considered individually.
