Suggest Non-surgical Treatment For Gall Bladder Stones

I have had bad pain for some time, and my Dr thought that my liver was enlarged. It ended up being multiple gall stones, and liver is fine. I understand the basics of the gall bladder and its functioning, I am wondering if there are any NON surgical treatments that could promote the stones to pass. The largest is 12mm, but quite a number of them, and my Dr immediately pushed for gallbladder removal. I would like an opinion if there are reputable alternative treatments. Thanks in advance, if this gets answered

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
12 mm size stone is too big for medical treatment. I advise you go for laproscopic cholecystectomy. Which has very less complications. Finally end with 'Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help". For Follow up questions, end with "If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health".
