** 1. although gall stones may remain asymptomatic for months/year but if becomes chronic can lead to pain/fever/ nausea/vomiting/bloating/jaundice thus cholecystectomy [removal of gall bladder] is the best treatment. 2. since gall bladder only stores bile which helps in breakdown of fats thus removal of gall bladder will not hamper your bodily function since bile is produced by the Liver which after its removal will directly enter your intestine. 3.
