Hi...if they are really tiny they may leave them to pass by themselves.
If they are larger they can be blasted by a laser.
I think nowadays they take the gallbladder as a last resort.
I had gallbladder attacks for years...they wanted to schedule me forever ago for surgery...
I opted to wait and over time... I've been fine.
Try to avoid really fatty foods...That helped me.
