Dear Madam,
Although incidental findings of Gallstones on ultrasound is common, only symptomatic gallstones need surgery.
If the gallstones do not cause you any problems, you can wait and watch.
However, if they cause you pain and discomfort, you most definitely will need surgery and gall bladder removal.
No diet known to man has caused gallstone dissolution and is a myth.

Surgery is the only solution
If stones are not giving trouble, you can wait for surgery.
Other high risk factors should be assessed before deciding about the course of treatment.
