There is only one solution for gallstones.  And that is surgery. It is because these stones never will get dissolved with any medicines or any injections. They will keep on increasing and later may cause serious complications. Also the surgery is very safe and simple surgery, done with small key holes (laparoscopy). So the pain is very minimal,  short hospital stay and very fast recovery. Most importantly it will never cause any digestion problems in future.
Next Steps
please consult a laparoscopic surgeon who would advice you to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy. if you can come to Columbia Asia hospital Pune please visit me or else can also contact me online for a detailed explanation.
Health Tips
avoid oily and spicy foods avoid outside food.

[ ] Hi if there is no upper abdominal pain / post meal fullness / discomfort / upper back pain , then you don't require surgery. This is asymptomatic gall stone. In case you develop any of above symptoms then you require surgery. There is no any medicines in present world to dissolve gall bladder stone. Laparoscopic approach is gold standard for gall bladder removal. You can read my article on Practo- Gall bladder stone.Feel free to ask any further quary.
