See below: There are medications available, but they do have side effects. Lots of people have gall stones and never get sick.

No.: No--but if it is not causing pain, it is "natural" to have stones in your gallbladder.

Doc is wrong!: Have a second opinion and have the stone out! too many complications if stones left inside: biliary colic, jaundice , acute cholecystitis, biliary peritonitis, bowel obstruction and pancreatitis! do you need this?
