Answers:
You must have aleady been advised about this by your own doctor.
If you're asymptomatic, the usual is to make diet changes, increase exercise and monitor your condition.
If you become symptomatic, meds may be used to dissolve the stones, ultrasound to shatter them or you may be a candidate for a laproscopic cholecystectomy [ko-lee-sis-TEK-tum-mee] (commonly called a lap choley).
In cases of acute inflammation you'd need an open cholecystectomy (open choley).
By rights, this is a question you should be addressing to your own doctor, instead of posting it online. I wish you luck.
