Gallstones are not harmful in the same way that some other forms of illnesses are. While surgery for gallstones is almost always done because the patient is in severe pain, it is not done because it is immediately life-threatening (although dangerous complications might arise soon-ish). It’s not like appendicitis, where you’re in pain due to an immediately life-threatening condition which requires emergency surgery. Gallstones cause “more pain per unit of danger”, if that makes any sense to you.
