On doctor's advice I had USG of upper and lower abdomen. The report says Grade 1 Fatty Liver and Cholelithiasis (biggest stone measuring 6.8mm. No surgery needed immediately, doctor says. Udiliv 300 prescribed for the time being. Was asked to take advice of gastroenterologist. Will be grateful if you can advise.

Laparoscopic removal of the gall bladder is the best treatment.

Consult a Surgical Gastroenterologist or a General Surgeon trained in Laparoscopic Surgery.
