Hi.
Polyps in the GB are usually considered a slight prick in the hand for a surgeon, considering some of them can turn aggressive. Taking your age into consideration I would recommend either a partial or complete GB removal, but your doctor should know best. They have been growing in size and are eventually going to reach a size at which we would have to take them out, so discuss with your doctor why we can't do that now itself.
Best wishes.
