Hello. Welcome to hcm
Your daughtees condition is called gall bladder hypomobility. Liver produces bile and it is stored in gall bladder. When there is no removal of bile,it can produce gall stones. Hypomobility itself is not a pre requisite for surgery. I prefer you have a second opinion with another doctor and proceed.
All the best
