Maybe the stone is causing an issue and maybe you need your gallbladder out. I can’t speak to your specific case but don’t hesitate to get a second opinion because you do not have to automatically remove a gallstone.

When I had diverticulitis the first time in 1999, I had a CT scan with an incidental finding of multiple small gallstones. They’ve been noted on many, many scans in the past 27 years with the latest one stating there are multiple large gallstones now around 2.5 cm each. So far there has never been any hint of infection or blockage. No doctor has ever suggested doing anything with them. I always pray that day won’t come because I don’t do well with abdominal surgeries. I hope your stone is just happy where it is and doesn’t need to come out. Best of luck!!!
