Brief Answer:
prophylactic management is possible

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and following is necessary guidelines:

1. Since treatment of gall stones is mainly surgical (shalya chikitsa in ayurveda) thus medical management is usually helpful in such cases as anatomy of gall bladder makes it impossible to dissolve stone on its own, as such sooner or later one has to go for surgical intervention, in the mean time you can incorporate following dietary guidelines : 

A. Take:
. Cucumbers, Green beans, Sweet potatoes, Avocados, Vinegars [all types], Garlic, ripe tomatoes, lemon juice in the morning with hot  water, apples, berries, papaya, pear.
. Vegetable juices - Beet and cucumber are especially helpful to gallbladder, avoid cabbage.
. Avoid all fruit juices except organic grape juice and organic apple: fresh, self-juiced is best [dilute with water before drinking]
. High fibre [fresh fruits and vegetables]  and low fat diet [skimmed milk],  hing,  old brown rice, barley, horse gram, moong dal, ginger, green leafy vegetables, oil massage, boiled water,

B. Avoid:
. Eggs, Onions,  Beans and legumes, Coffee, Oranges, grapefruit , Nuts, Fried Foods, Spicy foods, Chocolate, Ice cream, Carbonated water, Tap water, artificial sweeteners, sugar, preservatives, refined and bleached foods .

. Fried foods, urad dal, tomato, turnip, milk and milk products, constipating/heavy food, soda, alcohol, tea, potato, beet root, dry raisins, sour food, cashew nuts.

 . Take 3 gm ajwain [carom] seeds and eat, thereafter drink warm water.   
. Chew sugarcane pieces and keep swallowing the juice.
. Drink 1 cup spinach leaf juice daily for 1 month.
. Drink 1 cup of radish leaves for 14 days.
. Take 3-4 spoons of olive oil in evening with warm water or milk.
. Grind onion and extract 20 gm juice and to it add 50 gm sugar candy powder [mishri] and drink.

     
 . Since size of stone is less, thus you can ask for prescription medicine ‘tilnala kshara’ to be taken orally in dose of 1 gm, thrice daily with honey and milk for 4 month.

PS
. problem will start once it gets into common bile duct resulting in attacks of severe pain: (biliary colic) so do follow your Surgeon Advice.

.  Take vitamin-C-rich foods in your daily diet: like amla, orange, grapefruit, kiwi, cantaloupe, XXXXXXX strawberries, broccoli, red pepper . [Since vitamin C is needed to properly synthesize bile; and deficient intake causes bile to become cholesterol-rich and increasing the likelihood of stone formation].
