Why not just take medicine? सिर्फ़ दवा क्यों नहीं?
A gallbladder that forms stones tends to keep forming them, and "stone-melting" medicines rarely give a reliable, permanent result. The proven cure is removing the gallbladder by keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery — usually a one-day stay with a quick return to normal life.

You can live a completely normal life without the gallbladder. After a short light-food period, almost everyone returns to a normal diet.
