If you have pain: Or other symptoms, usually a cholecystectomy. Size of stones does not really matter, unlike kidney stones. Sometimes, small stones can go into the common duct and cause more problems than if they stayed in the gallbladder, such as pancreatitis, jaundice, or cholangitis. At your age, chances of needing cholecystectomy within your lifetime is pretty high. Follow your dr's advice.
