HI, and thank you for asking us on HCM!

I read carefully the concerns and your husband's medical history. There are different opinions between doctors about how to be treated gallbladder stones. If they don't cause any problem, might not be necessary to be removed and they can be followed by ultrasound regularly. But if they cause symptoms like pain, fever, vomits etc, which indicate for gallbladder infection, than the best choice is the surgery for removing the stones or the gallbladder too.
I suggest you to do routine check-up to your treating doctor.

Best regards
Dr Eriol.
