How much time and patience and money do you have?
If you have all the three then you can go for Medical treatment.
If you want a permanent cure within minimum time and reasonable cost then you go for Surgery.
If you have a lot of money and don't mind a failed treatment and then go for alternative treatment then you should go for laser treatment.

Gall stones are generally not dissolved or.cured with medicines if they attain a significant size. Gall bladder itself is removed along with the stones in it if it is symptomatically problematic. 2.6 cm is not that large to be indicated for removal as such. Consult with proper history for better management and advice.
