HI.
Thanks for your query.
When the gall bladder has multiple calculi, it will go into a stage of infection some or the other time as a complication.
You already have indigestion and bloating as caused by gall stones.
Another most important complication can be passage of a smaller calculus into the pancreatic duct causing a more dreaded disease called pancreatitis.
So it is important to a surgery to get the gall bladder removed.
