Hello. 14 mm gall bladder stone size is very big. It might block the mouth of the gall bladder leading to gall bladder colic initially and later cholecystitis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gall bladder along with the stone) is the only treatment option for the stone. It is a permanent one as you will never have gall stones in your lifetime. It is a simple surgery, takes approximately just 24 hrs for the hospital stay. And the recovery time is also just a week.
