My gallstone is 17mm and I'm wondering if it's okay to wait two years before getting surgery or if that's too long. Should I be worried about complications if I delay it? What are the risks of waiting with a stone this size?

A gallstone of 17mm (1.7 cm) is considered large and poses a higher risk of complications. While a 2-year delay might seem like a long time, the decision of when to proceed with surgery should be made on a case-by-case basis by a general surgeon considering individual factors and the severity of symptoms.
