If it is not troubling you (as size is very small), you can postpone surgery. But do follow up (ultrasound) yearly.

Medication Two bile acids are often prescribed to dissolve smaller gallstones: ursodeoxycholic acid chenodeoxycholic acid In an older study from 1989, ursodeoxycholic acid helped prevent gallstone formation in obese people who were following very low-calorie diets. It may take up to two years for bile acids to treat gallstones. Gallstones may re-form when you stop taking the medication.
