Brief Answer:
Surgery is the best option.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Despite you may find that ursodeoxycholic acid can treat gallstones without surgery, this is not true. The only way you can get rid of gallstones is laparoscopic surgery. This is the best solution. There is no effective home remedies.
And if you have small stones, you should not wait with the surgery, otherwise stones can move to bile ducts and obstruct them.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Hi Doctor :) what would be the correct question I should ask my surgeon before getting gallstones surgery?

Answered by Dr. Grzegorz Stanko (9 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Make sure you will have a laparoscopy.

Detailed Answer:
You should ask the surgeon if it is going to be done by laparoscopy. I do not think there is anything else your should ask. Generally the surgeon should know how to deal with your problem and should fully take care of you.
