Yes a gall bladder stone when detected should be removed. One should not wait for the complications to happen and the severity of complications is bad and the surgery also done during such time is complex. Rather at this stage the surgery is very simple and straight forward with hardly any morbidity . It is done with Laparoscopic method all over the world and has a very fast recovery with almost nil side effects on the digestion and routine activities
Next Steps

Hello, A gall stone once detected (symtomatic/asymtomatic) should be removed. World over it is generally removed laparoscopically (minimal invasive or key hole surgery). Kindly consult a laparoscopic surgeon near you to guide you regarding the surgery and all your related queries. Regards.
