Gallstones
I have multiple gallstones largest 8.5 mm.. I have heard doctors say if there is no pain, surgery is not required.. Well, I used to have minor pain but I stated eating Udiliv 300 twice daily and an oil free diet.. And now the pain is no longer there.. Just gas sometimes..
So can I skip the surgery? And keep eating this medicine for a Year or so to dissolve my stones?
Please reply 🙏

There is usually no medicine that can dissolve gall stone.
Udiliv helps to prevent further formation of stone, but the pre-existing stones are to be removed surgically, which is done by Cholecystectomy.
Since you are not having any pain, your surgery can be delayed, but the surgery should not be skipped as Gall stone disease is a risk factor for Gall bladder Cancer.
