Moderate pain from gallstones. dr says to remove since once you have pain you always will and it could lead to bigger issues. any reason i shouldn't?

Gall bladder: He is right - you are symptomatic and there are confirmed gall stones - better take it out now than to get this done when you have a cholecystitis which increases the risk.

Best to have-: -it removed now, if you wait for it to be an emergency surgery the complication rate increases.
