Is It Necessary To Take Out Gall Stone?
I have a 4 cm gallstone. Should it be taken out if I don't have many of the usual symptoms. I am 65 and my dr. says that I have probably had it a long time. I don't hurt when I eat a fatty meal or a big meal. Right now I keep having a pain just about the area of my right bottom rib cage. It has been there for about 4 months. I weigh 150 pounds and am female.

Hello,
You have a large gallstone.
The symptoms of right upper abdominal pain could be due to the gall stone. If this is the case the it would be advisable to get the surgery done to remove the gall bladder.
Hope this helps
